Call recorder

Why in the world does Apple doesn't have a working Automatic Call Recorder App? Every other smartphone in Android has that.

Maybe because in certain countries it is illegal to record phone conversations without the knowledge of the person you are speaking to.

Then how come same app with same developer in the same country works in Android just fine??

Because there is far less oversight involved in deciding which apps are available for Android phones.

Indeed since almost all call recording apps on Androids allow to easily record and save calls. So aren't all those apps illegal? If yes, how come same developer is developing for iOS.

It’s not the app itself that’s illegal, it’s the use of such an app that can be illegal in certain jurisdictions.

And in the Apple world you are asking Apple to let apps have access to other apps (phone) and Apple doesn't do that

Glad they don't have this feature or app in the App Store. I've said some pretty nasty things to all the hunnies after a few beers in the wee hours of the morning. Don't need that evidence getting back to my other side chicks.

Thanks Apple for being a great wing man.

Part of why Apple doesn't allow call recording is for security reasons. Allowing apps access to the phone app may invite unwanted malware and viruses. Also, phone call recording apps present confidentiality risks. While phone call recording apps seem practical and convenient, there are a myriad of security and privacy issues that they present us with. While Android may allow this, Apple does not.

Just because they work doesn't mean the behavior is not against the law. As previously stated, Android is fragmented enough not to perhaps have drawn oversight attention.
