Thanks Zachyy. Now that makes sense. I’ve just done that and hope that solves the problem. I don’t understand tho as it be never gone thru that process to turn it on. Maybe something to do with an update?

Apple frequently defaults new features to "on" else people wouldn't know they were there as most people don't read the release notes.

Your iPhone is not automatically recording your phone calls. You would need to manually do so. What makes you think that?

It sounds as if you may accidentally be tapping the record button. It's relatively new and you may have missed it.

It doesn’t. Why do you think it does?

Thanks for the reply. I’ve gone into my iCloud account, ‘see all’ and disabled Voice memos. Hopefully that will stop this annoying thing!

That setting determines whether or not Voice Memos backs up to iCloud. Ithas nothing to do with recording phone calls.

What will stop it is learning how not to tap on the recording button when you're on a call.

Or you can also turn off the voice recording feature for calls entirely by going to Settings > Apps > Phone > Call Recording and turn off.

I always forget about that.... ;-) Good work.

IdrisSeabright is correct. The voice recording calls feature was introduced in iOS 18.1, and was set default to on.
