apple watch sync

Hi.


I've taken some recordings (voice) with my Apple Watch, and for some reason it hasn't synced with my phone. I do need some of these recordings on my phone / computer, but kind og unsure what to do? I don't want to erase them by a mistake, as they are important for personal reasons.


So, any suggestions? What should I do? Recording it manually would decrease the quality (it isn't great from the start). I kinda do need the original file. Please help.

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 9

Hi there Janetx92,


If you are wanting to sync your voice memos from your Apple Watch to your other Apple devices, follow this information from See your recordings on all your Apple devices:

With iCloud, your Voice Memos recordings appear automatically in Voice Memos on your Mac and your iOS and iPadOS devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID.
* On your Mac: Choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click [your name], click iCloud on the right, then click Options next to iCloud Drive. Select Voice Memos in the list of apps.
* Note: If you haven't opened Voice Memos before, it may not appear in the list of apps. Open the app, then check the list of apps again.
* On your iOS or iPadOS device: Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, tap Show All, then turn on Voice Memos.

If you want to see a recording on a device where you’re not signed in with the same Apple ID, you can share the recording.


If this option is enabled on your devices and you are still not seeing the voice memos from your Apple Watch on other devices, please provide more details on how these recording were made so that we can continue to assist.


Cheers!
