Having created a iOS Shortcut (from the app) to tell Siri to start record sound, the recording is made but doesn't seem to be stored anywhere obvious, and only the most recent recording is visible. Are recordings stored anywhere accessible? They're not present in iCloud as far as I can tell, or anywhere the iOS Files app sees.
iPhone 8, iOS 12.0.1, null
I've resolved the issue by adding an explicit Save File action after the recording action. It should now save to iCloud Drive (or Dropbox), which can be accessed via the iPhone's Files app.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I just realized that you might be asking about where the recording is stored. It should be in the Voice Memos app.
It's having multiple recordings that's the problem. If you do one, you can access it via the Shortcuts app and export it. But it seems to disappear if you do another. I suspect the file still exists somewhere because the alternative, overwriting or deleting it, would just be bad design.
Also, sometimes recordings made this way don't show up...if the sound isn't loud enough it seems no file is stored. But to verify this I'd need to check the directory where the file should be stored.
According to the Shortcuts guide, they should be stored in that app's library.

Thomas, are you talking about the "sound recording" (the result of your shortcut)?
I don't know where they are stored, sorry, but I'm curious too.
What happens when you have 2 or 3 sound recordings? do they show themselves into the app?
I'll try to better investigate, and then I'll be back here.
Thanks and regards
Giulio
It should be listed in the Shortcut app if you tap Library. You can also create an icon for it, or invoke it with Siri.

Your request is legit.
Tomorrow I'll meet a friend of mine (I'm not so tech savvy) who could be able to give me a proper answer, and I obviously will share it here.

Thanks, I appreciate it.
