Cannot "Save" after trimming in Voice Memos

The Voice Memos app appears to be completely bugged across all devices. I've test this on an iPhone SE and iPad 2018 running iOS 12, as well as a Macbook Pro running Mojave.


The issue is that once you have edited your voice memo (either by deleting or trimming it), the "Save" button remains greyed out. There is nothing you can do.


Additionally the "Trim" function doesn't work as expected: It doesn't remove audio from left of the orange markers, only from the right.


Basically, outside of making or playing recordings, the Voice Memos app doesn't work at all.

helpful tip,

thanks for that. but apple really needs to get there head back in the game. and stop slowly merging to be like Windows products. im really starting to understand why people have gave up on the newer iPhones. this crap is unacceptable.

that app was perfectly fine..


also a multiple times a day user and this guessing game if my memos are save is ridiculous.

This is not the only issue:


When playing back from the middle you are often jumped back to beginning.


I can't rotate screen like I used to.


If you accidentally edit title while in trim mode you get completely stuck.


And worse of all, play/pause often doesn't work properly, especially irritating when editing, as you can ended up recording over more than you wanted to, and there's no undo button.


I now have quite a few recordings of myself swearing at this app..
