Scary & Weird Random location name using Voice Memo recording while at home

Today I had weirdest and scary issue while using Voice Memo. Am using iPhone 13 Pro Max and OS is on 16.3.1.

I was recording a memo from my home. My wifi is connected. After maybe 2 minutes or so, suddenly recording bar was crazily running and location showed 'Walgreens', while am at home.. I immediately stopped recording, turned off phone.. after 10 turned on phone and deleted the recording..

Any idea Apple or anyone? I almost got scared, I should say I am sacred even now,

Thanks

Hello bhaskar27self!

This definitely sounds frightening!

If I were you, I would turn Location-based Naming OFF. I find that it makes the Voice Memos App look cluttered, when everything can be in a nice list of New Recording 1, New Recording 2, etc.

You can turn OFF Location-based Naming by going to:

Settings > Voice Memos. Now, at the bottom of the list, you will see Location-based Naming. You will want to turn the switch OFF.

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
