one way of doing this would be, which works for me and im using ios 9.3.3:


1- open the voice memo

2- press the lock button

3- swipe up to access the control panel

4- click on either the clock or calculator

5- press the home button

6- now unlock your phone as normal


now you can access other apps while the voice memo remains being played


note that when you open certain apps like camera, then the memo will pause
