Apple makes some of the best phones on the market. Beautiful hardware design and an increasingly sophisticated OS grabs global headlines at every launch. However, even the newest iPhone 8 trips when you try to do one seemingly simple thing: record a phone call.

Apple has stayed away from providing native call recording capabilities on iPhones. This applies for the iPhone 8 too. Even third-party apps on iOS devices do not have access to the microphone and speaker during a phone call. Since many states in the US have complicated laws on the matter, it’s unlikely that Apple will be rethink it’s policy on call-recording anytime soon.

The NSA’s alleged wiretapping and scandalous call records featuring politicians are the stuff front page news are made of. What use does the average person have for call-recording, right? Not exactly. For many people, recording a phone call is an indispensable part of their profession.

To give you an example, phone recording makes it easier to deal with customer service. Back in 2014, Comcast subscribers lost their patience over the lackluster service provided by ComCast and started uploading their conversations with customer service reps. The massive backlash led to Comcast being declared the most hated company in America.

Call recording is also a valuable tool for journalists and market researchers. It is extremely difficult to note-take a two-hour long interview with just pen and paper; a recording will do the job so much better. Academicians, businessmen, and other professionals can also benefit from having a copy of their conversations. It’s also a matter of accountability and information storage. The average person gets six calls a day. Just how much is remembered is what varies.

The question now is, can you record phone calls on your iPhone 8?
