The iOS 18.1 beta that Apple provided to developers today introduces Apple Intelligence, and it includes the feature that allows users to record and transcribe phone calls.
With the update, you can tap on the record button in the top left corner after placing a call. Everyone on the call is notified that the call is being recorded through an audible message. There is no confirmation dialogue, so if a person wanted to not be recorded, they would need to hang up.
Once the call is in progress, the audio is recorded and saved to the Notes app. Recorded phone calls can be opened from Notes, and you can re-listen to the call, view a full transcript, and get a summary from the transcript without having to re-listen to the entire thing.
Summaries are active across the operating system in iOS 18.1, and you can essentially select any text on an iPhone to get a summary of it.
Apple Intelligence is limited to the iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 developer betas at this time, and the software will be available to the public later this fall.

The Wall Street Journal last month published an interview with Cook, in which he said he uses every Apple product every day. Soon after, The Verge's Wes Davis attempted to replicate using every Apple product in a single day. During that...

Works fine but why the hell: 'Everyone on the call is notified that the call is being recorded through an audible message'.......already useless..........and I have to keep using PLAUD.....
Because some locations are 2 party consent. Can't record someone without their knowledge in those areas. But go off.
That doesn’t mean that it’s Apple’s responsibility to enforce the notification.
It kind of does. If they had this without the notification they would have another lawsuit on their hands. They are already under a fine-toothed comb as it is. Just because you want to record people without their consent doesn't circumvent the law in many locations.
this is pain in the ass. I dont need to inform my wife every time we are on the phone to make a shopping list.....Also I don't need to inform anyone that I m recording our conversation when I am in the UK or Poland........so as I said it is useless unless they let us turn it off
What does your shopping list have anything to do with 2 party consent laws? It is only useless when you want to try and record someone while you are being shady and can't handle the notification letting them know they are being recorded.
Works fine but why the hell: 'Everyone on the call is notified that the call is being recorded through an audible message'.......already useless..........and I have to keep using PLAUD.....
Because in some places, eg CA, it I illegal to record calls without such notification
