Apple’s iOS 18.1 developer preview reportedly comes with an artificial intelligence feature that lets you record and transcribe phone calls mike rumor. Users with access to the beta can keep an audio log of the call by clicking the new “Record” button in the upper left corner of the call screen.
When enabled, all callers will hear a message: “This call will be recorded.” The Phone app will then record the call, automatically creating a transcript that will appear in the Notes app. Additionally, users can access full recordings and AI-generated call summaries within the Notes app.
Apple first showed off the phone recording feature at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June. This feature seems useful for journalists who often conduct interviews over the phone, and it could even come in handy if you’re on an important call from a doctor and want to remember exactly what they said.
