Voice Memos Taking Up Significant Storage

Hi all,

For some reason, my Voice Memos app is taking up a whopping 27GB on my iPhone XR. I tried deleting all the voice memos on my phone, and I'm still getting the same result. I've also tried resetting it a few times. I'm about to try to restore it from a backup, but if anyone else has other ideas or has run into this before, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi,

I am experiencing the same issue. My iPhone (8 - 256GB capacity) is saying it is pretty much full with Voice Memos taking 49TB (which is impossible). So far I have tried:

removing all files from the Voice Memos app
deleting the Voice Memos app (after this, iPhone storage still showed com.apple.VoiceMemos taking the same space as before - 49TB)
reinstalled the Voice Memos app (and now I can't even open it, it crashes every single time I try to open it)
resetting my iPhone settings (including restarting the phone multiple time)

None of these have worked.

Please provide guidance on how to fix this issue asap. Now I can't use my phone as it constantly throws messages about your iPhone is full, manage storage, etc.
