Disable Call Recording Alert on iOS 26
iOS Disable Call Recording by YangJiiii — Hide Call Recording Notification on iOS
iOS Disable Call Recording by YangJiiii is a no-jailbreak tool that silently disables the call recording alert sound on iOS 18 to iOS 26.1 using a safe, automated method on Windows and macOS.

Apple added mandatory voice alerts when call recording starts and stops to meet privacy laws. With iOS 26, these alerts became stricter, and Apple no longer allows users to mute or change them using normal system settings. This can be frustrating for researchers, developers, and advanced users who need to test or analyze call recording behavior.
iOS Disable Call Recording by YangJiiii solves this problem without requiring a jailbreak. The tool automatically replaces the system call recording alert sounds with silent audio files, so call recording continues to work—but without the loud voice notification.
How This Tool Works
The call recording alert sounds are stored deep inside protected iOS system folders. Normally, these files cannot be modified without jailbreaking.
This tool uses a Books app file overwrite technique, which allows it to safely replace the following system files with silent audio:
StartDisclosureWithTone.m4aStopDisclosure.caf
After replacement, call recording still functions normally, but no audible alert is played when recording starts or stops.
