How to Record Phone Calls on iPhone
Some Android Smart Phones in some countries, for example in China, have the built-in phone call recorder. However in some countries, for example in Europe and America, both Android Smart Phone and iPhone does not come with the built-in phone call recorder. Because there are federal and state laws pertaining to the recording of phone calls. As a general rule of thumb, though, you shouldn’t run into any legal trouble if you capture both parties verbally consenting to the recording. Some states require that only one party consent, however, feel free to check your state or local laws if you need further clarification.
