Is there a way to record a phone conversation on an iPhone?

[30hourschildcare]

I have an important hospital appointment on the phone next week. I find myself really flustered and only hear the worst. I'd like to listen back after and reassess what's been said.

Ideally I don't want to have the conversation on speaker phone and use a different recording device as I prefer to use my headphones to talk so I can walk around (get anxious sitting)

Does anyone know of you can do this ?

Could use voice notes?

Shamelessly place marking OP as I'm the same and have important calls for my DC

@buffyverse is that an app?
I only know voice notes in regards to WhatsApp

Oh I just googled and apple don't allow it.

Go to the “Extras” tab.

Then select “Voice Memos”. You can record, save to files and even forward it on.

There's a recorder on your phone (looks like a old cassette recorder). My Dad used it when he was going for appts with his oncologist.

It’s not possible to simply record a phone conversations with a different device when you’re using headphones.
I suggest you just set your phone to speaker - you can still walk round - and use a different device to record both your voice and the other persons voice. If the volume on your phone is turned up enough, the convo will be picked up. Make sure you get their permission at the start of the call though!

You need an App, there are free ones you can download.
I'd suggest you get one and try it out before the important call so you know what you're doing.
[Now I can hear everyone going 'No shit, Sherlock!' but good luck]

I do this for my hospital appointments. It's Voice Memo in Utilities on the Iphone. I just click it to start as i'm getting called through and pop it in the top of my bag. Had clear recordings so far and helps me to remember everything too

This one in the middle

Are you going to tell them you're recording the call? Don't you have to say?

Yes! That one I use it too frequently. Clear as crystal. On mine it’s in Extras.

I tried voice memos and it told me I had to end the call to start recording

I will of course tell him I am going to record and I'm sure he will be fine with that

What are the apps you are using?

Why not put your video recorder on in the camera?

Everyone saying voice memos, it doesn't work in a phone call. 100 % no way of doing without an app I've looked into this a lot when I was being bullied at work. The app was shit too and told the caller it was recording when they answered (legally had to but I wanted to illegally record but your doc won't mind so app will be fine 🤣🤣 ) so sorry I can't remember the name of it

@70billionthnamechange thank you.

I think I will have to use speaker and record from DPs phone

Do you have a pc or iPad? Another option is to have the conversation on speaker whilst the other device is in dictate mode. It will then type out everything it hears

I've used an app called Cube - ACR. It's very simple to use and I would recommend it.

Actually, that is right. Voice Memo does not work on a phone call as it will only record the i-phone holders voice.

So, which app are we supposed to use?
