Voice memos disappeared

Not sure if it is because of a recent IOS update but suddenly found my old voice memos had been wiped out. Is Apple gonna do something in the next update or I have to find a way to get it back myself?

Hello JLing03.


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand that your Voice Memos are missing since updating the iOS. Voice Memos are important, and we will be glad to assist.


First, check to make sure Voice Memos is turned on in iCloud:


"Go to Settings  > [your name] > iCloud, then turn on Voice Memos."


Keep recordings up to date in Voice Memos on iPhone


Next, check the Recently Deleted folder to see if your Voice Memos are there.

Use the Voice Memos app


"Voice memos stay in the Recently Deleted folder for 30 days and then are deleted permanently. You can recover a voice memo if it's still in the Recently Deleted folder:

  1. In Voice Memos, tap or click Recently Deleted.
  2. Tap or click the memo that you want to recover.
  3. Tap or click Recover, then tap or click Recover Recording."


If you need more help, Contact Apple for support and service

 

Cheers.
