voice memos backup in icloud?
I can't find voice memos in my icloud backup.
I don't see any way to include them in the icloud backup, or to access them on icloud.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Hi there mklein745,
Thanks for reaching out to us here in Apple Support Communities! We understand you're asking how to access Voice Memos in your iCloud backup. We're glad you're here, and we can provide some guidance.
"Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups only include information and settings stored on your device. They do not include information already stored in iCloud such as Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Notes, Reminders, Voice Memos4, Messages in iCloud, iCloud Photos, and shared photos." With that said, Voice Memos aren't included in an iCloud backup. Have a look at this support article for more information about what is included in an iCloud backup:
"All your memos are available on every device that's signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID. Just turn on Voice Memos in the iCloud settings of each device." You'll want to sign into iCloud on your device and turn on Voice Memos in Settings to access your Voice Memos on that device. Learn more here:
We hope this provides some clarity about how Voice Memos work. Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any more questions.
Cheers!
