What are the limits of the Voice Memos app?

I have a number of questions about the Voice Memos App :


What are the limits of the APP? Ie: How long can you record?

How much space does each record use?

Where are the output files located?

I use this app on all my Apple devices (all running latest IOS/OS) ie: iPhone, iPad Pro 10.5, MacBook Pro, iMac

iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi

Hi again.

| how long can you record at any one time? |

There seems to be no simple answer to that question. Some people say there is no time limit for the app itself and it depends on the capacity of the device -- Mac or iOS. Recording for 90 minutes or more has been reported "without problems" but others report difficulty editing or playing back shorter files.

You may have to go by trial and error.

I believe this was answer ... “Space taken will vary with length. About 4 minutes on AAC encoding takes up 2 megabits.”

other words ... depends on how much free space you have remaining on your device is howlong you can record .. 4 min recording uses 2 megabits..

keep in mind also if seeking to send via imessage or sms .. audio often creates to large file to send , forcing you to cut it into segments to send .. *** !
