iOS 18.1 Beta 4 Expands Call Recording to Older iPhones

In late fall, Apple will release iOS 18.1, one of the most anticipated updates by all users, which will allow users access Apple Intelligence, the AI ​​feature set that seems to be taking longer than expected since its launch at WWDC24. Little by little, we have learned which Apple Intelligence features will appear in iOS 18.1 thanks to the developer betas released by the Big Apple.

One of the new features that we will see in iOS 18.1, as we mentioned, is the ability to automatically record and transcribe phone calls. In this way, a user will be able to quickly access the transcription through the Notes app. This tool was incorporated in the beta 1 of iOS 18.1. However, the problem was that until now it only worked on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max (as well as the iPhone 16).

But in beta 4 of iOS 18.1 released a few days ago This function is developing to older iPhones. That’s to say, all iPhones starting with iPhone XS They will be able to enable the call recording and transcription feature. In fact, the feature does not require Apple Intelligence support as such. If a device has these features, the option to access a summary will be added to the call recording, which is done with Apple Intelligence.
