Question

How do I listen to my memos?

Community Answer

Tap on the Voice Memos app to find the list of memos underneath the black recording box. Find the memo you want to listen to and tap on it. If it does not play immediately, tap the triangle-shaped play button to hear your memo.

Question

How long can voice memos be?

Community Answer

As long as you wish, it also depends on how much storage you have as it can take up a lot of megabits/gigabits, etc. Also consider how much you actually want to listen over what you've said again.

Question

How do I send a voice recording?

Community Answer

You have to hit the microphone icon next to the text box (it's opposite the "attach a picture" camera icon). You can record an audio clip to send through text or iMessage that way.

Question

Can I put my phone on silent when recording a memo?

Community Answer

Sure you can! It's actually a good idea to put your phone on silent first. It will prevent any ringtones/alerts from interrupting your recording.

Question

Will my memo still record if text messages or calls are coming in?

Community Answer

No. The memo stops recording when a phone call comes in. However, if you are texting, the memo will continue to record. It only stops when audio is interrupted; for example, if you play Spotify, YouTube, or a video.
