Hello Giniaannsmiles,


Thanks for sharing the screenshot, we always find this to be helpful. It sounds like you are concerned for the 6 MB amount you are seeing for Sound Recognition. This would be the size of built-in sounds so the iPhone recognizes what it's listening for. It's part of the operating system and can't be deleted. So it doesn't actually record sounds, it listens for them.


You can learn about this feature by going to Recognize sounds using iPhone - Apple Support


This should help explain what this feature is and how it's used.



Have a great day!
