How do I disable the 'This call is being recorded' announcement when recording a phone conversation on iPhone?

I want to record a phone conversation but I don't want the other person to know I am recording it. How do I stop that announcement "This call is being recorded"? Can I disable that announcement? I don't want to disable the capability of recording a phone conversation just disable the announcement that it is being recorded.

You cannot disable the message. In some jurisdictions, it is not legal to record calls. In others, a message must be played to alert the parties. In some, only one party need know the call is being recorded.

There are some details that may (or not) allow one to record from

their own phone, depending on jurisdiction; and local laws on this.


Law usually reflects history of telephone use: includes 'Land Line'.

These rules may differ, should you have one-type hardware phone

& place calls to different tech (telephone= landline -or- cell). Then

there's those office phones, where they use 'fully digital' voice tech.


[Searches can include other than US, calling laws in results: change

that & use the locality or nation, in Search engine; & screen those.]


There are several laws that appear with in search engine/browser

usages in various countries; and depending on your location, that

result can change. So given different words, results will vary too.

Curious, a browser Search - may provide more evidence - either way

by simple changes in order/content of words.. Within a written search.

Results can also vary, should national borders and rules get involved.

And probably different rules also apply to 'land-line' vs. 'cellular'.

You may have to try 'narrow' focus, to cellular phones; if both parties use them.

While my phone may as well have a crank ~ I'd rather have an Antique one too!

My cell phone should have wings; to feather a softer landing, after I pitch mine.
