Voice notes disappeared

Hello,

I have an issue with my voice notes. I wanted to delete the voice memos from iCloud today because they were taking too much space on it, but little did I know that doing it would also deleted them from my iPhone, and I don't see a "Deleted voice memos" tab in the voice memos app. Unfortunately, I haven't made a computer or an iCloud backup of the phone for a long time, so I need help in recovering my voice memos. is there anything that can be done for that? Thanks in advance for the help.

Best,

Karim

iPhone XS, iOS 17

Recover Lost Voice Memo Files from iCloud Backup My Voice Memos app started crashing & not working so I took the following steps: -Backed up my phone on iCloud (made sure the Voice Memos app was toggled on) -Delete the Voice Memos app & reinstalled it (this lost all my files) -Reset my phone back to the backup that had all my previous files Here is where the issue began. Even though all other apps reset to their previous data, none of my files from Voice Notes transferred over. I went to my iCloud account and could not find anything related to the Voice Memos app. Is there a way I can restore my phone to a previous previous backup? Those audio files I lost are very important to my work

Voice Memos Disappeared After Upgrading Phone Everything was backed up, I subscribe to Apple Cloud extra storage terabyte. I had plenty of room. transferred everything over or so I thought. everything else came back. Not sure if it’s new, never had to select Never /30 days in voice memo settings before. The voice memos have been on 3 different phones because they wouldn’t easily send via email, or drop box before. They were very Special, it was voice recordings before my husband died. it was also some very important information. I only subscribe to the terabyte service to make sure I kept them safe. Now they are gone except 20 recent not so important recordings. Is there Anything I can do to restore them.? I did not delete them they disappeared.

Voice Memo Disappeared but Storage shows 1.3GB of Voice Memo Data I have recently discovered that most of the voice memo recordings have disappeared from my iPhone after I turned off iCloud (Previously I turned iCloud Backup on for a short duration for a phone switch. I do not need iCloud subscription since I've enough storage on my device). All of my voice memos are and should be stored in local iPhone storage. Currently, I see only last 2 voice memos). However, under Settings => iPhone Storage, it shows that Voice Memo app occupies 1.3 GB (see attached) of Data. But I am not able to find all but last 2 recordings in the app. There is no 'Recently deleted folder either (I've never deleted anything). So where can I find these recordings that are stored on 1.3GB of iPhone storage? Or, Is it possibly there anywhere on iCloud since I disabled iCloud less than 30 days back?'Document & Data" under iPhone Storage Voice Memo app
