All happening natively without the need for other apps

Apple is projected to unveil iOS 14 in the fall of this year, and while the company tries to remain tight-lipped on every little detail regarding this operating system update, leaked builds that some people have already obtained provide us with a closer look at the upcoming feature lineup.
 

And one of the surprising features could be call recording, according to a report from Chinese site IT Home.

It goes without saying that we should take this with a healthy dose of skepticism, albeit a screenshot that was posted in the report seems to suggest that an early version of this feature was already implemented in an iOS 14 build.

The new feature is called “Phone and Facetime Calls” and according to the description that Apple has allegedly added to the Settings app, it “enables recording of all incoming and outgoing calls on this device.”

iOS 14 preview just around the corner

Needless to say, call recording might not be legal in some countries, and Apple itself tries to prevent any issues that might be caused by the addition of this feature.

So the update also comes with a warning in the settings screen that emphasizes users are the only ones responsible for recording calls.

“You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to notify all parties on the call that is being recorded and you agree that you will comply with all applicable laws in jurisdiction with respect to the recording of calls while the Audio Call Recording is on,” the warning reads.

Of course, call recording is already possible with third-party apps, but time will tell if Apple really wants to offer such functionality natively.

iOS 14 is projected to see daylight in September, but an early build is likely to be previewed by Apple itself at the WWDC conference later this month.
