Best Phone Call Recording App for iPhone 2022

A fact about iPhone says that you cannot record calls on the device. There is no in-built setup that lets you do so.

To be fair, it isn’t even reckoned as a problem now. Because, no iPhone variant has ever been complemented with a call recorder and that’s something we have already made peace with. Instead, we have started tinkering with other stuff to get clear off this hassle.

There is a sheer variety of call recording apps for iOS, which can help you record the calls and create a loop for every word spilled on the speaker. These apps work great in a sense that no trace of data is lost to quality defects. Also, there is a little fuss over losing your data to bullies and lurkers, which are no short of hacking skills to twist the neck of web privacy.

Simply speaking, these apps are qualitative, absolutely secure and free.

Why iPhones lack a call recording software?

Best Call Recording Apps for iPhone 2017

You might be wondering that in an age, when Apple is exploring the newest tech for its ambitious iPhone, why does it choose to be on the back foot for a thing as basic as a call recorder? Well, the reason is – the wiretapping laws in the United States.

It is NOT legal in most of the states to record the a telephone conversation unless you or the other person involved in the call offers consent. Since iPhone is designed in the US, Apple, being a company operating on the American soil, has to adhere to the laws of the land. It cannot throw caution to the air and invent something that’s a clear breach in the face of wiretapping laws.

This is why, iPhones don’t have a call recording software.

Not just iPhones, this is a common case for all the smartphones, be it Android or Windows. Because, all of them are designed for the US markets at first and then, move to other world markets.

Features to Look For in a Call Recording App

Since it might get difficult for you to pick the right call recording app, we’ve written about some of the things you must look for. This should clear the air.

Look whether the call recording app is:

  • Automatic or Manually Controlled: This is important since you don’t want all your calls logged on to your phone’s audio gallery. See whether the app asks your permission before recording a call or simply puts it on automatic record mode.
  • Customizable: There are times when you might wish to adjust the record quality for a call from low to high, or vice-versa. Select a call recording app that lets you do so to be in the clear. Also, there are some apps that enable you to change the theme and modify the looks completely. If you find one app that provides for it, great!
  • Secure: This requires a no-compromise approach, as your privacy is above everything else. There is nothing more horrific than leaving your data at the mercy of online rogues. Check how the app functions in the face of security and confidentiality risks. Read some reviews if it helps to make an informed decision.
  • Flexible and Easy to Manage: It is that very flexibility that lets you save data to a folder of your choice and share the same to several social platforms. Choose a call recording software that provides for both.

With this, let’s move to the list of best call recorder apps for iPhone you need to know. We have hand-vetted the 6 best, so that you don’t meander through a lot of options aimlessly and in deep confusion as to which could be your clear choice.
