Automatic Call Detection
Debrief.AI can automatically prompt you to record a debrief after phone calls end. This is one of the most powerful features for building a consistent debriefing habit.
How It Works
When you finish a phone call, Debrief.AI sends a notification asking if you'd like to record a debrief about that conversation. No manual action required.
Enabling Call Detection
- Open Settings - Tap the gear icon in the app
- Find "Call Detection" - Scroll to the Notifications section
- Toggle ON - Enable the call detection feature
- Grant Permissions - Allow the app to detect when calls end
Required Permissions
| Permission | Why It's Needed |
|---|---|
| Phone State | To detect when calls end |
| Notifications | To send you the debrief prompt |
| Background App Refresh | To work even when app is closed |
Customizing Prompts
You can customize when prompts appear:
- All calls - Prompt after every phone call
- Unknown numbers only - Only prompt for numbers not in contacts
- Contacts only - Only prompt for saved contacts
- Favorites only - Only prompt for starred contacts
Troubleshooting
If call detection isn't working:
- ✅ Check that permissions are granted in iOS Settings
- ✅ Ensure notifications are enabled for Debrief.AI
- ✅ Restart the app after changing permissions
- ✅ Make sure Background App Refresh is ON
⚠️ Privacy Note: Debrief.AI only detects when calls end — we never listen to or record your actual phone calls. Your call audio is completely private.
