Voice Memos via iMessage

Where are Voice Memos saved when received via iMessage? I was sent a Voice Memo via iMessage, and I saved the Voice Memo, but I don't know where it saved to. I checked the Voice Memo app, but it's not there. Anyone know?

The Voice Memo (m4a) file is initially only saved in your Messages app until you choose to move it, for example to the Files app.


If you open the message with the sound file and tap on it, you can see the "Share" icon in the bottom left corner (Square with up arrow) - in that menu you are offered "Save in Files" - you also have the option to save in a specific app, for example the Voice Memo app, the Notes app or forward it as Mail.
