Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Voice memo recording name reverts back to the location name

voice memo recording name reverts back to the location name while I am renaming

This happens 1/10 to 1/5 of the cases. This happens with many of my devices.

Please help find and fix this bug, Apple. Thanks.


I found a similar question 2 years ago, by leanne_68 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250508899#:~:text=It%20sounds%20like%20your%20memos,be%20saved%20as%20New%20Recording.), but still a little different. The reverting bug I meet with happens while I am editing the name, not after it. This is a less disastrous one than name reverting even after the renaming has been done.

Hi app_juice,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Wondering which Mac / Device you are using and which OS version is installed,

and

which method you are using to name / rename a voice-recording.

We are all Apple users, like yourself in this community,

doing what we can to help each other troubleshoot.


Here's a link to the useful "Voice Memos User Guide"

(NB: Click on Table of Contents at the top to reveal topics, leading to detailed info.

For the most accurate info: Choose your OS version at the top of articles)

https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/voice-memos/welcome/mac


For example, scrolling down:

"Edit a recording on Mac (MacOS Monetary 12)"

Says:

Rename a recording

Your recording is saved with the name “New Recording”

or the name of your location (if “Location-based Naming” is selected in preferences 

and you allowed Voice Memos to detect the location of your Mac).

However, you can rename it. 

    1. In the Voice Memos app  on your Mac, select the recording.
    2. Click the name in the list, enter a new name, then press Return.
