How to Record WhatsApp Calls on Android and iPhone

With more people relying on WhatsApp for personal and professional conversations, it's only obvious that many of us are curious about how to record calls on WhatsApp. Whether it’s a meaningful conversation with a loved one, a quick client briefing, or an important interview, having the option to revisit these calls can be incredibly useful.

At Vi, we understand how valuable seamless communication is in today’s world. That’s why we’re here to guide you through the different ways to record WhatsApp calls, depending on whether you're using an Android device or an iPhone. So, let’s get started!

 

Is It Possible to Record WhatsApp Calls?

Before we get into the ‘how’, let’s touch upon the ‘can’. WhatsApp itself doesn’t offer a built-in call recording feature due to privacy policies and regulations. However, there are still ways you can record calls on WhatsApp, provided you respect the privacy laws in your region and ensure that the other party consents to being recorded. Let’s now explore how to record WhatsApp calls on both Android and iPhone.

 

How to Record a WhatsApp Call on Android

Recording a WhatsApp call on Android can be done with a few different methods. Here are the most commonly used:

1. Using Screen Recording Apps

Many Android smartphones now come with built-in screen recorders. Simply enable the recorder before your WhatsApp call and make sure that it captures audio. If your built-in recorder doesn’t record internal audio, third-party apps may help, though compatibility may vary across devices and Android versions.

2. Via an External Device

If you’d prefer to keep things simple, using a second device to record the audio can also work. Place the call on speaker mode and record the conversation on the second device using a voice recording app. These two methods are how to record a WhatsApp Call on Android.

 

How to Record a WhatsApp Call on iPhone

Apple places tighter restrictions on call recording apps, so options for how to record calls on WhatsApp on iPhone are a bit more limited, but still possible.

1. Using a Mac and QuickTime

One of the most effective ways is to use your Mac. Connect your iPhone to the Mac via a Lightning cable. Open QuickTime, choose ‘New Audio Recording’, and select your iPhone as the audio source. Then, make the WhatsApp call on your phone. This method allows you to record WhatsApp calls clearly and legally, provided you follow privacy protocols.

2. Third-Party Apps with VoIP Support

Some call recording apps on the App Store offer VoIP call recording, though they may come with subscription fees. Always check the app’s permissions and make sure it complies with WhatsApp’s terms of use. As with Android, you can also use a second device to record the conversation while on speaker. It’s a simple yet effective way of how to record a WhatsApp call on iPhone or Android when other tools aren’t available.
