My voice memos will not sync to my Mac

I record daily voice memos on my iPhone 8 (iOS 13.1.2) and usually sync to my MacBook Air (macOS 10.15) either in the evening or first thing in the morning. I've noticed that my voice memos have not been syncing to my Mac for about a week now. They are on my phone but will not show up on my computer. I don't see any option to sync voice memos on Music (Version 1.0.0.426). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Brubaruguy.


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


If I'm understanding correctly, since updating your iOS you have noticed that voice memos have stopped syncing to your MacBook air. I will be glad to assist.


Let's verify the following settings from:


Voice Memos User Guide


  • "On your Mac: Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Apple ID, click iCloud in the sidebar, select iCloud Drive, click Options, then select Voice Memos in the list of apps.
  • On your iOS or iPadOS device: Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, then turn on Voice Memos.

Does deleting the voice memo app lose your data/current voice memos? Only some of mine are syncing with my macbook pro (all software is up to date on iphone and computer) and in the iCloud drive options, voice memos is not on the list of apps even though voice memos are turned on in my iphone icloud settings. The only thing I can think of is to Air Drop them all to my computer but that would take a really long time (I'm a student and record all of my lectures)
