How to record conversations on an Android device

To record conversations, you need to download a special recording application from the Google Play store. There you can find several such applications, for example Another Call Recorder , Automatic Call Recorder and others with similar names. Many are free and have paid versions with more advanced features, such as cloud sync. In this article, we settled on the Total Recall application, perhaps because we like Schwarzenegger, and Total Recall translates as "Total Recall" ... Seriously, this application seemed to us the most interesting and convenient.

So, to start recording conversations openGoogle Play Store and search for "Total Recall". Then install the app and run it. Call any phone (for example, your carrier's answering machine) to test it. When you call, the recording should start automatically.

When we tested, we got a message during the conversation that the recording did not start, because there was no memory card. In this case, you need to go to the settings, in the main menu select "Audio", then "Location of the audio file" and instead of the memory card (MicroSD) select the internal storage of the smartphone (Internal Storage).

Immediately after installation, we decided to change the format of audio files with recorded conversations in the settings to the more familiar MP3 format:

One important point to keep in mind: Installing and using more than one call recording software at the same time can cause performance problems. Therefore, if you try different applications, uninstall the old one before installing the new one.

How to Record Conversations on iPhone

It would be great to use Voice Memos on iPhone to record conversations, but unfortunately if you try to start recording and then make a call, the voice memo recording will be interrupted as soon as the other person answers the call .

Therefore, you need to install a third party application from AppStore . Like Android, there are many different call recording apps for the iPhone, but most of them require a payment to unlock additional features.

For this article we are using the " TapeACall Lite " application, because it has a free trial, although you can only listen to the first 16 seconds of the recording without paying (about $ 10).

So what needs to be done:

• Go to App Store on your iPhone and search for " TapeACall ".
• Install and run the application.
• Activate the application with the code that you will receive in SMS after entering your phone number.
• Make the desired settings and view the manual if desired.
• Open the application and press the record button.
• Click " Add Call " and enter the phone number to call or select from the list of contacts.
• When the other person answers, click " Merge Calls " to start recording.
• After the conversation, you can return to the application, click the " Play icon " button under the " Record " button and see all your conversations.
