iOS 18 Call Recording: Apple announced iOS 18 at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024 a few hours back. Among the much-requested additions was call recording in the Phone app. The upcoming OS will let you record and transcribe calls using the app. Once a user responds or makes a call, they can enable the recording feature.
Participants in the call will be notified about the activity to ensure transparency during conversations. While the call is being recorded, the iPhone will return a transcript of the spoken word. Plus, the feature can generate a summary for easy recall. Besides call recording and transcription, users can "search call history more easily, dial smarter, and switch SIM cards seamlessly" in the iOS 18's Phone app.

Speaking of Apple, the feature will display a recording bar with soundwave and the duration of the recording.

Similar audio recordings and transcription capabilities will also be available in the Notes app.
