Unlock iOS 18.1 Beta: Record and Transcribe Calls on More iPhones

iOS 18.1 Beta Now Available for All Compatible Devices

Apple’s latest iOS 18.1 beta has rolled out, and this time around, it’s not limited to just the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Yes, you read that right – the beta is now available for every device capable of running iOS 18. But what’s behind this sudden expansion? Well, it’s all about the headline feature: Apple Intelligence.

What’s New in iOS 18.1 Beta?

Apple Intelligence is the name of the game, and this feature only works with the iPhone 16 line and the iPhone 15 Pro models. But don’t worry, there’s more to this beta than just Apple Intelligence. For instance, call recording and transcribing are now more widely available, thanks to this latest beta.

Call Recording and Transcripts: A Game-Changer?

With the latest iOS 18.1 beta, you can record calls and access transcripts, no matter what phone you’re using. Simply tap the icon in the top left corner of the call screen to start recording. A spoken message will then inform everyone on the line that the call is being recorded, and once the call is over, you’ll find the recording and a transcript in the Notes app.

But, There’s a Catch

While call recording and transcripts are now more widely available, you’ll still need Apple Intelligence to get an AI-generated summary of the call. So, for that, you’ll need an iPhone 15 Pro, an iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model. Currently, you also need to be in the U.S., Australia, Mexico, China, Hong Kong, or South Korea to use call recording at all. Hopefully, the feature will be made more widely available over time.

What’s Next?

If you don’t fancy grabbing a beta, the finished version of iOS 18.1 is set to land in October, so there’s not long to wait. In the meantime, you can stay ahead of the curve and try out the latest features on the iOS 18.1 beta.

Get Ready for the Future

With the latest iOS 18.1 beta, Apple is taking another step towards making its ecosystem more seamless and user-friendly. Whether you’re using an iPhone 16, iPhone 15 Pro, or something else, you can now enjoy the latest features and improvements. Stay tuned for more updates, and get ready to take your iPhone experience to the next level!
