Once you tap "Save Recording" in the Voice Memos app, the edited version of the recording is saved, and any previous version of the memo, including the unedited one, is lost. Unfortunately, Voice Memos does not offer a direct undo feature for this action.

See the pic below



If you haven't yet saved the recording, force close the app or tap on the three dots and tap undo (Refer to the pic below) before saving to discard any edits and return to the original. Once the recording is saved and closed, there is no built-in way to revert to the previous version.


You may want to periodically make copies of important voice memos or use third-party tools to back up recordings to avoid losing them during edits.
