Voice memo app will pause recording

Hello!


I sometimes record long voice memos (>15 minutes) for work. At around six minutes or so the record will pause and Ill manually have to tap the screen to resume the recording and it will intermittently pause the recording again throughout. Im not sure about the consistency of the intervals. This wasn’t always an issue and may have started when I got an apple watch but I’m not 100%. background app refresh is on so im not sure how to get these recordings to stay on without input all the way through. Would anyone be able to help?

Hello, Thanks for Reaching out to Apple Support Community The issue might be your Apple Watch with iCloud

In order to fix this Go to Setting -> Account -> iCloud and turn of Voice Memos or if you have a shortcut running for pausing music or an quite alarm, Also are headphones or earphones connected to the iPhone while recording. Reply with as much information for further instructions
