Apple has released the iOS 18.1 beta to developers, and it brings some exciting new features. The standout addition is called Apple Intelligence, which includes the ability to record and transcribe phone calls. This feature could be a game-changer for many users. Imagine being able to easily capture important conversations, ensuring you never miss a detail. Whether it’s for work meetings, interviews, or personal calls, this new capability promises to add convenience and functionality to your iPhone. Additionally, Apple Intelligence provides handy summaries for any selected text on your device.
When you answer or make a call, you can enable recording on your iPhone. To do this, you simply tap a record button in the top left corner of the screen. As soon as you enable recording, all participants on the call will hear an audible message informing them that the call is being recorded. This notification ensures everyone is aware, preventing any confusion or surprise.
As the call is recorded, your iPhone will also provide a written transcript of the conversation. This transcription happens in real-time, allowing you to follow along with the conversation as it happens. The transcription feature supports multiple languages, including English (various regions), Spanish (U.S., Mexico, Spain), French (France), German (Germany), Japanese (Japan), Mandarin Chinese (mainland China, Taiwan), Cantonese (mainland China, Hong Kong), and Portuguese (Brazil). This wide range of language support ensures that many users around the world can benefit from this feature.
