Voice memos location-based naming

Hello. My recordings are being titled “new recording” instead of my location (which I prefer). I have both location-based naming and location turned on in settings. Any ideas?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 13

Greetings Beachnorwegian,


If those settings and restarting haven't resolved this, allow us to assist further. Does this happen consistently no matter the location or randomly? Have you had any issues with cellular while using other apps (like, the Maps app), when disconnected from a Wi-Fi network?


In case this happens all the time, no matter the location or network connected, then we'd double check for any software updates that may be available. Here's how to backup and get up to date: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch Test it out once more after installing any updates. Should it continue to occur, we'd Contact Apple Support


Wishing you a quick solution, take care!

Hi Beachnorwegian,


Based on your post, the Voice Memos app isn't naming new recordings based on your location. We've got your back!


To give the app permission to use your location, go to the following:


  • Settings > Voice Memos and select 'location-based naming' to enable it.
  • Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Voice Memos and ensure that you have location services enabled for 'While using the app'.


If it continues to occur, try to restart and test it once more. Here's how to Restart your iPhone


Hope this solves it for you, take care!
