As an iPhone user in a region where single-consent is the law, are there any convenient ways to record phone calls without extra hardware or jail breaking?

speaker mode + separate device to record. Either that or use a computer to do the call and record using software on the computer. I don't know how the latter is done but I know many companies do that.

  Can't one stick a recording device between the headphone and phone?

    If you have a headphone jack and a splitter that could work. I do not know of any "two sided" Bluetooth devices that could sit between a phone and headset.

      Why couldn't your bluetooth mic / headset record?

    Yes, I’ve read that this is what most reporters do. There are a number of devices built for it. I’ve never used any so have no recommendations.

  just patch inputs and outputs to audacity (or your recording software of choice). for pipewire theres helvum[0] or qpwgraph[1]. for JACK there's Catia[2].

As an android user, same question. The last app I used successfully stopped working after a while, and I got the impression Google did this deliberately.

  This one? * https://gitlab.com/axet/android-call-recorder https://gitlab.com/axet/android-call-recorder I tested it a few months ago, but since I don't do phone calls any more I don't know what today's status is, if it's still working or not.

    Thanks, but the readme says at the top: MOST PHONES DOES NOT SUPPORT CALL RECORDING. Blame Google or your phone manufacturer not me! So I'm not holding out much hope.
