Voice memos not syncing

Hi everyone,

I use voice memos with my iPhone and I enabled iCloud sync. By watching the iCloud storage usage my memos take up almost 9 GB. I checked if the iCloud account is shared between devices and in each device I've enabled the voice memo sync. I tried recording new test memos just to see if it would trigger any sync but it didn't and I have the original memos on my iPhone and test memos in my other devices.



Has anyone had similar problems?

HI there, LDL Nick2!


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you are having an issue with seeing your Voice Memos across your devices. If you have followed this article to See your voice memos on all your devices and are still having an issue, I would suggest checking out this article to Access iCloud Drive files from your iPhone and other devices. Specifically:


"If your files don't update to iCloud Drive

Check these things first:

If you tried these steps and your files still don’t upload to iCloud, stay signed in to iCloud and save your updated files to a different folder on your Mac or PC. Then contact Apple Support for more help."


Let me know the results and have a terrific day!

I am having the same problem re Voice Memos not syncing. I didn't find the Community Specialist's answer very helpful because it only addressed the generic problem of files not syncing through iCloud. All of my other apps sync just fine through iCloud; it is only Voice Memos that has this problem. Anyone else seeing this?


One possibility is that one of my devices is iPad Mini 3 which cannot load iOS 13. My other devices are an iPhone on iOS 13 and a MacBook Air on Catalina. Could the fact that one of my devices is on an older OS be the problem?


As others have noted, Voice Memos was syncing just fine across all devices until upgrading to iOS 13.
