Hi all, i just purchassed a new se iphone, having used android phones i had no idea what i was missing til now, very impressed with the phone and simplicity of use, However i do have a problem with recording ingoing and outgoing calls automaticly, i did have an app for android but cant find a free one for ios,,or is there one available or am i forced to go with tapeacall ?

Any ideas would be great, Thanks in advance and i hope i posted this in the right place.

regards
Paul
 
I believe the reason why it does not exist is because of certain call-recording laws. Most states in the US require two-way permission for a call to be recorded. If a user had access to the app, he or she could record all of their calls, even without permission. I had an old LG flip-phone years and years ago and that had call-recording and LG pushed an update which removed the feature.

Yes i have read that, well i guess it will have to be the one i mentioned above, a bit expensive in fairness you would think someone would make one an market it a lot cheaper,,,,,,Thanks for your reply

The one you listed probably snuck its way into the app store and shouldn't be there. I would get it while you can because it may not last.
 
That sucks for people who live in states that don't require said permission. I am one of those people. My state's laws allow me to record any telephone conversation I want, without asking permission or even telling the other person that I'm recording.

Yes, there are many states that are one party consent only, but how would anyone implement this feature for only those particular states? Someone could drive across boarders to buy an iPhone with those features, Apple would have to have multiple versions of iOS for the same devices. There is no logistical way it could be done. So its easier to remove it entirely.
 
One, these people can turn it back on if they need to record a call. Are we really saying that software shouldn't exist for a few people who might want to use it but have an incompatible option selected? Change the option or don't use the app. I mean, come on.

Two, if you jailbreak, there are already call recording apps available that let you record regardless of where you are anyway.
