Where do saved audio from the iMessages app go when saved on iPhone?

When someone sends me an audio file via iMessages there's an option to "save" - Where does it go??? it's not in Files nor does it show up in the Voice Memos, like it used to.


This question was asked a couple years ago and only had one reply where they explained a workaround where you could email the files to yourself. Yes, I know you can save them to a bunch of diffrent programs on the phone (eg DropBox, OneNote, etc) but I find it hard to belive that the Save function isn't supposed to land them in the Voice Memos. Like it used to do just fine. It just seems like a dumb apple oversight.

I tested this on my iPhone 12 Pro iOS 15.1


  1. Touch and hold the Audio Message
  2. Tap on the displayed recording
  3. Tap on Share Icon
  4. Choose any of the options to share via, AirDrop, Messages, Email


The pic below is self-explanatory (on iPhone 12 Pro iOS 15.1)
