Apple’s iOS 18.1 developer preview introduces a new AI-powered feature for recording and transcribing phone calls. Available to beta users, the feature adds a ‘record’ button to the call screen. Announced at the June Worldwide Developers Conference, this tool is ideal for journalists conducting interviews or for anyone needing to capture important conversations.
Once activated, all call participants will hear a notification stating, “This call will be recorded”. The phone app will automatically capture the call and generate a transcription, which will be saved in the Notes app. Additionally, users will receive an AI-generated summary and the complete audio recording in the Notes app.
To try this feature, download the iOS 18.1 beta. Be aware that beta software can have bugs, so it is recommended to use a backup device. The same feature will be available on iPads with M1 silicon or later with the release of iPadOS 18.1 in Q3 2024.
