They\u2019re so seamless. Pick up the phone, and information can flow freely between two people. They are great for meetings, catching up with friends &amp; family, or dealing with issues with products\/services that you have purchased. A lot of important information is shared in phone calls, and this is why it is so important you <strong>learn how to record them<\/strong>. Discover how to record your iPhone chats, and you\u2019ll always have the most important information at your fingertips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a complete guide to <strong>recording a phone<\/strong> call on your iPhone. We have five methods for you. Some are as simple as using the built-in features on your iPhone, and others have you installing an app where you can record your phone calls in even greater clarity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we dive into the methods used to record your phone calls, we\u2019ll start by answering a fundamental question &#8211; Is it legal to record your calls on an iPhone? This is important to know if you\u2019re planning on recording conversations frequently, particularly if those phone calls could potentially be used for business or legal purposes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a professional looking to record their meetings, a concerned parent wanting to record their child or somebody who wants to keep track of what customer support says to them on the phone, this guide is for you. So, let\u2019s jump in, shall we? Let\u2019s tell you exactly <strong>how to record a phone call on an iPhone<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is It Legal to Record Phone Calls on an iPhone?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This does depend on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/how-to-find-out-where-someone-lives\/\">where you live<\/a>, so you\u2019ll need to look into your local laws. Most of the time, recording a phone call on an iPhone (or any phone for that matter) does not require consent from the other party.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We do always recommend that <strong>you seek permission<\/strong> from whoever you are recording regardless of the law. People don\u2019t like to be recorded (you probably wouldn\u2019t like to be recorded), so at least give people a heads-up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, as long as you aren\u2019t recording phone calls for a nefarious purpose i.e. you just want your private record of the call, it probably won\u2019t be a massive issue to record no matter where you live. Only one of the methods that we\u2019ll discuss will let the other party know that you\u2019re recording that call.&nbsp;Please talk with your local legal advisor before you make a decision to record phone calls for personal or business reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recording Phone Calls on iPhone: Step-by-Step Guide<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we said right at the start, we have five different methods to share with you for recording phone calls on your iPhone. Each has its pros and cons, so it is up to you to decide which method works best for your needs. The end goal is the same no matter which route you go down &#8211; you\u2019ll have recorded phone calls that you can listen to whenever you need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method 1: Voice Memos App &#8211; Your Built-in Call Recorded<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/voice-memos-app-can-be-used-for-call-recording.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3605\" width=\"297\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/voice-memos-app-can-be-used-for-call-recording.jpeg 739w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/voice-memos-app-can-be-used-for-call-recording-230x300.jpeg 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the \u2018Voice Memos\u2019 app on your iPhone is probably going to be the easiest. All iPhones have this app installed, so you won\u2019t have to go hunting around the App Store or anything like that. You just open the Voice Memos app and away you go. Although, annoyingly, you don\u2019t get the best sound quality with this method, and sometimes it struggles to catch the entire conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, if you want something that will give you basic recordings of your phone conversations (and you don\u2019t mind talking through speaker phone when you record), then this method is perfect. Here\u2019s how to unleash the (rather limited) power of the Voice Memos app:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the Voice Memos app.<\/li><li>Hit the big red button in the app (the record button)<\/li><li>Answer the phone call or make a phone call.<\/li><li><strong>Switch the phone call to \u2018speakerphone\u2019.<\/strong><\/li><li>Turn the call volume up.<\/li><li>When you hang up the phone, switch the recording off.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple, right? As we said, you won\u2019t have the greatest recordings in the world. They\u2019ll likely be a bit muffled (especially from the other side of the call), but if you\u2019re looking to record in a pinch, then this method is fantastic!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method 2: Call Recorder &#8211; Cube ACR &#8211; Simplify Call Recording on iPhone<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/call-recorder-cube-cr\/id1613607637\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cube ACR<\/a> is a very, very lightweight free app. It is dead simple to use. Here\u2019s how it works when receiving or making a call (you will have needed to make the call beforehand).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/record-incoming-outgoing-calls-and-transcript.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/record-incoming-outgoing-calls-and-transcript.png 512w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/record-incoming-outgoing-calls-and-transcript-288x300.png 288w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the Call Recorder<\/li><li>Select the \u2018Record\u2019 tab.<\/li><li>Select \u2018Record\u2019<\/li><li>Your phone will then make a second call to the Call Recorder Lite phone number.<\/li><li>Once you are connected, select \u2018Merge\u2019<\/li><li>Your calls should now be recorded.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the standout features of <a href=\"https:\/\/cubeacr.app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cube Call Recorder<\/a> is its excellent sound quality, ensuring crystal-clear audio for all recorded content. The app also boasts extensive audio management capabilities, including options for <strong>cloud backup, easy access, and instant sharing<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This provides users with the convenience of securely storing their recordings in personal cloud storage, making it accessible whenever and wherever they need it. Cube CR offers both free and premium options, allowing users to choose between a basic recording app for voice memos or a premium subscription for advanced call recording features. <em>Premium subscribers enjoy benefits such as robust call recording functionality, PIN lock\/FaceID\/TouchID protection for recordings, cloud backup, text notes on existing records, and an ad-free experience<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Cube Call Recorder offers a comprehensive set of features, it&#8217;s important to note that the app&#8217;s functionality relies on the <strong>support of three-way calls<\/strong> from the phone carrier. Users may face limitations if their carrier does not support this feature, impacting the app&#8217;s effectiveness in certain situations. Despite this downside, <strong>Cube CR remains a valuable tool for those looking to enhance their call recording and voice memo capabilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method 3: Google Voice App &#8211; Seamlessly Record Calls with Ease<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/google-voice-feature-798x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3606\" width=\"300\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/google-voice-feature-798x1024.jpg 798w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/google-voice-feature-234x300.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/google-voice-feature-768x986.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/google-voice-feature-809x1038.jpg 809w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/google-voice-feature.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is a bit trickier since you\u2019ll need to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/voice.google.com\/u\/0\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Voice app<\/a>. This means that you need a Google Voice number (and the person has to be calling that number). <strong>You can only get a number if you live in the United States<\/strong>. You can\u2019t record calls made to your normal cellphone number like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot record a call in secret here.

With over 4 million users around the world, <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/tapeacall-call-recorder\/id573751328\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TapeACall<\/a> is the <strong>top call-recording app<\/strong> on the planet. Or, at least, one of the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TapeACall will record your phone calls with crystal-clear clarity. Far better than your Voice Memos app could ever dream of recording them. So, you don\u2019t have to worry about muffled words, or, in rare cases, not catching the entire conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to this, TapeACall will make a transcription of your phone call with 99% accuracy. So, you can always read it back and identify the key points of the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, TapeACall will let you <strong>automatically share your voice calls<\/strong> to various services e.g. DropBox, and Google Drive. This lets you keep an easy-to-access backup of your voice chats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of recording your phone call is a bit more involved than the previous two methods, and the method that you use will depend on whether you are making an outgoing call or receiving one. Although, neither method is too difficult to wrap your head around once you get into the swing of things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recording Incoming Calls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Answer the call<\/li><li>Open TapeACall<\/li><li>Hit the \u2018Record\u2019 button.<\/li><li>Select \u2018Call\u2019<\/li><li>Select \u2018Merge Calls\u2019<\/li><li>Your entire phone call will be recorded from this point onward.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Annoyingly, you may not catch the first part of the call (since you have to open up the app). You could lose anywhere from 10-30 seconds of the first part of the conversation, depending on how fast you act. This is fine when you let the other person know you\u2019re recording them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recording Outgoing Calls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recording your outgoing calls is a little easier since you can start the \u2018recording\u2019 process before you make the call (sort of). Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Before you make a call, open the TapeACall app.<\/li><li>Hit the record button.<\/li><li>Select \u2018Call\u2019.<\/li><li>Make your phone call.<\/li><li>Select \u2018Add Call\u2019 in the TapeACall app.<\/li><li>Select \u2018Merge Calls\u2019 when they answer.<\/li><li>The whole conversation will now be recorded.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method 5: Rev Voice Recorder &#8211; Precision in Every Conversation\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/rev-call-recorder-free-app.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/rev-call-recorder-free-app.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3608\" width=\"163\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/rev-call-recorder-free-app.png 512w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/rev-call-recorder-free-app-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/rev-call-recorder-free-app-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 163px) 100vw, 163px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Rev Voice Recorder is a <strong>100% free app<\/strong>. You\u2019ll never be charged a cent to record a call. You\u2019ll never see an ad. The team behind the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rev.com\/onlinevoicerecorder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rev Voice Recorder<\/a> makes their money on transcriptions. So, if you want a transcription, you\u2019ll need to pay. If you just want the basic voice recording functionality, <strong>then your bank account can rest easy<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can start recording calls using Rev Voice Recorder, you\u2019ll need to download the app and create an account through it (it takes just minutes). Once it is set up, recording your calls, interviews, and other memorable moments will be a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works when receiving a call:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the Rev app.<\/li><li>Hit the green button.<\/li><li>The number for the Rev Voice Recorder will appear.<\/li><li>Select \u2018Call\u2019<\/li><li>Once connected, select \u2018Call\u2019 again.<\/li><li>Select \u2018Merge Calls\u2019<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The method for recording an outgoing call is the same. The only difference is that between steps 2 and 3, you\u2019ll need to type in the number of the person you\u2019re trying to call. Rev can access your contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Managing Your Call Recordings: Where to Find Them on iPhone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is all well and good recording your calls, but they are useless unless you know how to find them so you can listen back to those chats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve used one of the downloadable apps that we listed before (i.e. method 2 onward), then there\u2019ll be a dedicated part of the app for all your stored recordings. If you\u2019re using the Voice Memos app, then you\u2019ll need to do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the \u2018Voice Memos\u2019 app.<\/li><li>Look for \u2018Recordings\u2019<\/li><li>All your voice recordings will be listed here, although only by date and time.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, this folder will include a list of <em>all <\/em>your voice memos, not just your phone calls. We recommend that you go through the various recordings and sort them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With our voice recordings, we do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sort all our recordings into folders. You can do this easily from within the app.<\/li><li>Rename the recordings to make them more descriptive,<\/li><li>Regularly back up our voice recordings to external services e.g. Google Drive, iCloud, DropBox, etc.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re recording a lot of important conversations and meetings, then we recommend that you use one of the apps that generate transcriptions for your conversations. It\u2019ll make them far easier to navigate through if you need to grab some important info.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recording Your Kid\u2019s Phone Calls on iPhone: A Guide<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people are recording their phone calls for their private use e.g. business meetings, sales discussions, customer support, etc. But, many others see phone call recording as a way to help protect their children. If you are in this boat, then this section is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we want to tell you how you can record your kid\u2019s phone calls on an iPhone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get Consent From Your Child<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can probably tell from previous sections, <strong>there is no way to automatically record phone calls on an iPhone<\/strong>. This is a good thing. You don\u2019t want a random app to start recording your calls without permission, right? However, this does pose a problem if you have a child. You need to tell them how to record the calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend having an open and honest conversation with your child. Let them know how dangerous the world is, and why you feel you should record their phone calls. They may be a bit angry about it, but there\u2019s not much you can do about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let your child know that you are going to do nothing to breach their privacy. Tell them that you\u2019ll only ever consider <strong>listening to their call recordings<\/strong> if you believe there to be something untoward happening. Stick to that promise, or your child will never trust you again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Parental Control Apps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/monitor-your-child-phone-activities-with-family-orbit-1-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/monitor-your-child-phone-activities-with-family-orbit-1-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/monitor-your-child-phone-activities-with-family-orbit-1-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/monitor-your-child-phone-activities-with-family-orbit-1-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/monitor-your-child-phone-activities-with-family-orbit-1-809x423.jpg 809w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/monitor-your-child-phone-activities-with-family-orbit-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Parental control apps are the go-to for many parents. These apps will allow you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/how-to-track-your-childs-cell-phone-location-without-installing-any-app\/\">track your child\u2019s activity<\/a> on your phone. This includes their location, incoming calls, outgoing calls, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/view-text-messages-send-and-received\/\">sent messages<\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not many parental control apps will record phone calls since these apps are meant to be \u2018secret\u2019. As you know already, the user has to physically set up the voice recording whenever they receive or make a call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend that you use these apps to just keep a log of incoming\/outgoing calls. One of the best child-monitoring apps is Family Orbit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/\">Family Orbit<\/a> is a comprehensive monitoring solution designed to provide parents with valuable insights into their child&#8217;s digital activities. With a focus on ensuring a safe and responsible online experience, Family Orbit offers robust monitoring capabilities that extend to various aspects of a child&#8217;s phone usage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents can keep a vigilant eye on their children&#8217;s call history, text messages, and social media interactions, enabling them to stay informed about their digital communications. This monitoring feature not only helps parents identify potential risks or inappropriate content but also fosters open communication about responsible device usage. Family Orbit goes beyond traditional parental controls, empowering parents to actively engage with their child&#8217;s online world and establish a healthy balance between digital engagement and offline activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Third-Party Call Recording Apps&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any one of the five phone recording methods that we mentioned before is great for recording your child\u2019s phone calls. However, you\u2019ll have to let your child know how to use them (and trust that they will use them).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FAQs About Recording Phone Calls on iPhone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is it legal to record phone calls on my iPhone?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to look into local laws. Legality varies from location to location. Almost everywhere, it will be legal to record with the other person\u2019s consent. It is only a few locations where you don\u2019t need permission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I record phone calls without notifying the other party?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Look into your local laws. If your location requires consent, then it is illegal to record the conversation without telling the other party. This applies even if you are keeping the recording for your own, private use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I ensure high-quality call recordings?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a dedicated call recording app (not your Voice Memos app). Always make your call from a quiet environment, and preferably a location where your phone\u2019s signal won\u2019t keep dropping out. Use an external microphone, if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I share or transcribe voice recordings?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can. Many voice recording apps will have a transcription feature built into them. If you have the consent of the other party (if you are in a state that requires consent for recordings), then feel free to share the transcriptions or store them on your phone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do call recording apps affect call quality?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Some apps may do. This is why you must use a reputable voice call recording app e.g. TapeACall. This ensures crystal-clear clarity when recording the chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many reasons why you may want to record calls on your iPhone. For some, it may be to keep a log of meetings and important conversations. For others, it may be to keep a note of cherished memories. Some may even want to record calls to protect their children. Any method that we\u2019ve discussed will help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, while we\u2019ve given you the tools for call recording, there are some things that you\u2019ll need to do yourself. This means considering the ethical and legal obligations behind recording calls. Always respect the privacy of the person you\u2019re talking to and ensure you follow local laws. If you do that, then recording your voice calls is fantastic, and will put you in control of all your chat history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-bottom-box\">\n<div class=\"blog-bottom-box-left\">\n<div class=\"inner-box-bb\">\n<div class=\"wsc-pro-logo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/img\/fo-logo-main.svg\" class=\"img-responsive\" style=\"max-width:240px\" width=\"180\"><\/div>\n<p>Best Cell Phone Monitoring App<\/p>\n<div class=\"btnBox-bb\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/step-1-create-account.php\" class=\"btn btn-lg btn-outline-secondary text-uppercase font-weight-bold\">Begin Free Trial<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>180,671 people have signed up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"blog-bottom-box-right\">\n<div class=\"inner-box-bb\">\n<ul class=\"cta\">\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check green-check cta\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span>Monitor Calls &amp; Text Messages<\/span><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check green-check cta\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span>View Photos and Videos<\/span><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check green-check cta\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span>Location Tracking &amp; Geofence<\/span><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check green-check cta\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span>Monitor WhatsApp &amp; Kik<\/span><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check green-check cta\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span>Detect &amp; Alert for Inappropriate Activities<\/span><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check green-check cta\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span>Monitor Websites Visited<\/span><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-check green-check cta\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span>Compatible with Android and iOS<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear-box\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phone calls are great, right?
