Back to Android (For the Time Being)

One reason I use Android that has no viable replacement on iOS is call recording. I deal with government officials a lot and I want to hold them accountable (I live in a nation with one-party consent laws, in the sense that I only need my own permission to record a conversation).

iOS will not let you do this natively, you have to add a call recording service via a three-way call whereas I can do this out of the box with /e/OS on a Fairphone.

This is one of the best reasons I've ever heard for not running iOS.

I completely understand why Apple won't allow it from a third party: that's a security and privacy nightmare.

I even somewhat understand why Apple hasn't developed such a feature themselves: it's a very minority use case and has some legal concerns in some jurisdictions.

But the end result is, yes, iOS is not for anyone that needs to record calls like that.
