Recording phone calls can be a privacy violation, but there are several positive use cases for it. If you record calls, make sure that you tell the other person that the call is being recorded. Needless to say, don't record calls if it is illegal. We're going to tell you how to record phone calls on your smartphone, but we strongly advise that you check whether this is legal in your region before you follow these steps. Perhaps one reason for this because recording calls treads murky legal waters - some countries (or states within countries) have laws against recording calls without the consent of all parties in the conversation. While smartphones have made life simpler in most areas, this is one aspect in which they've gone backwards, since none of the leading mobile operating systems include a built-in call recorder. A lot of our old feature phones had call recorders built right in, and this was extremely convenient if you needed to record a conversation for your job or just because you wanted to remember something important.
