Voice Memos

Organise and

recover your

voice memos

T

he Voice Memo app has long been one of the

iPhone’s essentials and when it appeared on the

iPad, it won itself even more fans. Having an ability

to record memos comes in handy in many situations from

the lecture theatre to an interview. You can also sync

recordings across your Apple devices by ensuring you’re

signed into iCloud with the same Apple ID and turning on

Voice Memos in the iCloud settings.

There are some limitations. You can’t reorganise your

messages or place them into folders. But you can edit,

share and delete them and, as we see here, recover

accidentally removed memos. You can also determine

when a clear-out of deleted memos takes place, alter the

quality of your recordings and ask Siri to instantly playback

your last memo. Listen up...

Obtain better quality recordings, name files by location

and restore deleted voice memos on iPhone or iPad

Step-by-step Recover your deleted voice memos

1

Launch Voice Memos

If you have recently removed a voice

memo only to realise that you actually need it,

do not despair. There is a simple way of getting

it back so launch the Voice Memos app.

2

Keep scrolling

Scroll down the screen, past all of your

recordings, and you will see an entry called

Recently Deleted. As the name suggests, this

is where your removed files are kept.

3

Select a recording

You can tap any of these recordings

to listen to them (a Play/Pause button will

appear). If you decide you want to undelete

that recording, you only need to tap ‘Recover’.

If you accidentally delete voice memo recordings then you

can recover them at any time in-app...
