I tried everything suggested here. I rebooted my phone and watch. I made sure Voice Memos was turned on in my iCloud settings. I unpaired my watch and retired from backup. I rebooted again. I endured once again that Voice Memos was on. I unpaired and paired as new. I again checked the iCloud setting for voice memos. I rebooted both again. No luck. Memos showed up in my Mac but not on my phone.


Finally, I uninstalled and reinstalled the Voice Memos app on my phone. Works perfectly. Before going through the hassle of unpairing and re-pairing a watch, try this.

Ok I tried everything that was mentioned here. I made sure the icloud setting was selected. My voice memo did not sync with my iphone. Then I unpaired and paired my device as new. My last recording disappeared and lastly I again unpaired and paired to a backup version of the apple watch. And I have completely lost that recording on my watch and it is not on the iphone either.


I was hoping maybe magically this is stored somewhere, but I don't see any other options in which I can recover my last voice memo.

I didn’t repair the devices, or delete the Voice memo app from iPhone or Apple Watch 5, as I didn’t want to lose my notes. Changing iCloud settings, rebooting both devices or hard rebooting iPhone didn’t help. But finally, after hard rebooting Apple Watch 5, The transfers started. Try this before the other methods, and keep your memos! Worked for me.
