iOS 16.4 Adds Voice Isolation for Cellular Phone Calls

Even states in USA. Some it is legal and some not and then with or without consent. Like every other law it can be 50 different versions in the 50 states. It's so annoying.

I thought it was legal to record a phone call as long as one person knew that it was being recorded?
Sure in most cases you'd want to tell the person that they're being recorded but I thought
back in the day with cassette recorders it was legal..
 
a shame that this feature was taken out in the first place and to skyrocket airpods sales. But better late than never!
Huh Tim Crook?
 
This is a good idea. When my friends upgraded to a newer phone we found our call quality between each other improved a lot, I guess because we are on the latest standards. But calling someone with an old android or on an obscure carrier the call quality can be bad. Anything that can help boost or clarify voices will be a good thing, too many times we resort to shouting into our phones to sound clearer instead.
 
I hope it will work with airpods. They’re unusable in the street or in other relatively loud environments.

Think of the number of companies where "customer service" promises something, then never does it and claims that it was never promised. Those types of calls often begin with a "this call may be recorded" statement too.

I believe the potential for serious and massive abuse far outways the rare benefit of recording.

Calls can already be recorded; you simply need two phones - one to make the call on speaker and one recording a voice memo.

At least if it's built in to the phone, it could play a beep every few seconds to let both sides know the call is being recorded.

I've never needed to record a call, so have no need for this, but I don't see it as a big deal. It'd be fun when calling any company and playing my own "this call is being recorded for training purposes" message right after theirs ...

Unfortunately no.

However, your selection is supposed to stick. I had to select it twice (during two different calls) before mine stuck.

Have you spoken to anyone who uses it? I wonder if anyone noticed a difference when speaking with you. I'm genuinely excited for this feature.
