Getting call recordings can be tricky due to privacy restrictions. Here’s a guide for Android and iOS.
For Android Users
- 1. Check for a Built-in Recorder: Many phones (Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus) have a call recorder built directly into the Phone/Dialer app. This is the easiest method.
- 2. Use a Third-Party App: If you don't have a built-in one, search the Google Play Store for "Call Recorder". Warning: Read reviews carefully and check the app permissions before installing. Many newer Android versions block call recording, so find an app that is confirmed to work with your phone model.
- 3. Get the File: After the call, find the audio file (usually a .mp3 or .m4a) in the app or in your phone's "Recordings" or "Music" folder. Share it to your own email or a cloud service like Google Drive/Dropbox. Then, download it to the computer you are using to access ScamStop.
For iPhone (iOS) Users
- Challenge: iOS does not allow third-party apps to directly record standard phone calls for security reasons.
- The Workaround (3-Way Calling): The only reliable method is to use a service that joins your call as a third participant and records it. You start a call, then "merge calls" with the recording service.
- Recommended Apps: Search the App Store for apps like "TapeACall" or "Rev Call Recorder". Note that these are almost always paid subscription services.
⚠️ Important Legal Notice
Call recording laws vary by country and region (e.g., one-party vs. two-party consent). You are responsible for ensuring that you are recording calls legally and have the right to share the recording. ScamStop is not responsible for illegally obtained recordings.
