Can you record an iPhone call without iOS 18.1 or later? Yes. You can still record calls with another device or a third-party service. The most common approach is to use a second device as a recorder: Put your iPhone call on speakerphone and capture the audio with another iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Android phone running a recording app (for example, Voice Memos on iPhone/iPad or an Android recorder like this one). Do a quick test, play it back, and adjust volume, distance, and environment until the sound is clear.

Also: I switched to a Wi-Fi enabled smart lock with facial recognitionThe only problem with this smart lock is that you have to be willing to splurge. It’s priced steeply at $350, and it’s so good that it rarely goes on sale, though you can save $30 for a limited time on the Lockly website.However, the $350 price tag gets you the best smart lock I’ve tested and two rechargeable batteries, so you can swap them out when one is drained.
