- chipperyman573 8y agoIt's not illegal federally or in any of the 38 single-party consent states, as long as the person recording is a member of the conversation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_recording_laws#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_recording_laws#Unite...

- LukeShu 8y agoIt is not illegal to use such a feature. In some states ("multi-party consent" states), it is illegal to use the feature without the consent of the person being recorded; just like in some situations it is illegal to use the "camera" feature without the consent of the person being recorded. That doesn't stop Apple for offering a camera on their phone. Other states have "one-party consent" laws that mean it is always legal for you to record own phone calls.
