How to Record LINE Calls on iPhone in 2026: 4-Step Guide
Recording LINE calls on iPhone used to require a second phone or a voice recorder. With the 2026 update to iOS 26, you can use the built-in 'Local Capture' feature along with speakerphone to record LINE calls directly. However, the recording is just an audio file—to turn it into a transcript, summary, and action items, I use Tinrec. Below, I'll first cover the 4 recording steps, then show how Tinrec turns call content into usable data.
4 Steps to Record LINE Calls on iPhone
- Update to iOS 26, then go to Settings > Control Center and add 'Local Capture'.
- Make a LINE call and remember to turn on speakerphone, otherwise only your own voice will be recorded.
- Swipe down from the top-right corner to open Control Center and tap 'Local Capture'. Long-press to select 'Audio Only' for a smaller file.
- After the call ends, tap the red dot in the Dynamic Island to stop. The recording will be saved to the Files app. Then import the audio into Tinrec.
Note: Before recording, please confirm local laws and obtain consent from both parties to avoid legal issues.
What Can Tinrec Do for You?
Tinrec is an AI meeting notes and collaboration tool for individuals and teams. It not only converts speech to text but also organizes recordings into searchable, summarizable, queryable, and exportable data. For example, with a LINE call recording, you can upload the audio to Tinrec and get a transcript, AI summary, chapters, and action items within minutes.
Scenario 1: Quickly organize after a sales call. Tinrec summarizes the budget, needs, and objections the client mentioned on LINE, so you don't have to listen again.
Scenario 2: Customer service and complaint records. Import call audio into Tinrec and later use AI Q&A to ask 'What did the customer request?'
Scenario 3: Interviews and research. The transcript preserves the original text, while the summary helps you capture key points.
Scenario 4: Team sharing. The team version lets you centralize meeting data in a team space, where members can view, search, and ask questions.
