iOS call audio preview

I’m a big phone call guy. I know the Zoomers and even some of the Millennials reading this are more prone to text or email, but there’s something beautiful about having a real conversation with someone that’s difficult to recreate digitally.

Because I love to yap on the phone, people close to me are the unfortunate recipients of many calls, some at inopportune times. I’m generally bad at thinking “is now a good time to call?” become picking up the phone. Such is life, I guess.

This got me thinking though. Phones can pick up your audio at any time. What if they picked up the audio from your device when you see an incoming call and showed it to the caller?

I’d assume this would be a great way to 1) catch people doing weird things and 2) destroy a lot of relationships. It would also be very funny at times, but given Apple’s commitment to trust and privacy, I don’t see how this gets built.
