FaceTime and Call Recording
Sometimes, the conversations we have on FaceTime are meaningful and we may want to remember calls with the ones we love, even after they’re no longer with us. After my wife lost her mother to cancer, she wanted to record one of their last group calls as a family, but screen recording doesn’t support audio in FaceTime. So, they had to use Zoom instead.
The ability to record video calls is nothing new and it’s odd that Apple omits it from FaceTime, especially after opening FaceTime up to other platforms. Apple could add call recording in iOS 18 for both voice and FaceTime calls. An on-screen indicator on video calls or a Siri alert on audio calls could indicate to both parties that the call is being recorded.
