Recording calls not working

call recording 2026

i no longer can record my calls. It comes on then automatically shuts off. This started happening after the most recent update in September 2026. Is there a fix. I checked settings and turned my phone off and on it’s still not functioning.

Record a call

Before you begin, check the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website to see if call recording is available in your language and region, and make sure the other call participant is willing to be recorded.

  1. Go to the Phone app  on your iPhone.
  2. Make a call.
  3. During the call, tap , then tap Call Recording.
  4. Both call participants hear an audio notice that the call is being recorded.
  5. To stop recording, tap  or just hang up.
  6. iPhone automatically saves call recordings to a Call Recordings folder in the Notes app.
  7. To see the call in the Notes app, tap View Saved Call.


I have this exact same issue. have 18 pro max on iOS 27. starts recording and then immediately says "this call is no longer being recorded..." nothing I do fixes it. the post below from ckuan is worthless and irrelevant to the post.
