Voice Memos trim button missing on iPad

Missing trim button in Voice memo app. The trim button is missing.

It was there a few days ago now it’s gone.

I need this recording but left it running 20 minutes after recording. Need to clear space.

What happened or how do I work around this? New iPad and updated

iPhone SE, iOS 18

Open the recording fully

Tap the recording → then tap the soundwave (waveform)

You should now see:

  • Trim
  • Replace
  • Enhance
  • Playback speed
  • Options

If you only see the blue play button, you are not in the full editor.
