Fix 1: Check iCloud Access for Voice Memos

To sync app data across your Apple devices, allow the app access to your iCloud account. The same is applicable to the Voice Memos app on your iPhone and Mac. So, check and give Voice Memos access to iCloud.

On iPhone

Step 1: Open Settings > profile name > iCloud.

Step 2: Tap on Show All to open the Apps using iCloud list.

Step 3: Scroll down and enable the toggle for Voice Memos if not already.

On Mac

Step 1: Open Settings > profile name > iCloud.

Step 2: Click on iCloud Drive.

Step 3: Click on Options next to Apps Syncing to iCloud Drive.

Step 4: Under Documents and Data, scroll down and enable Voice Memos if not already.

Fix 2: Disable Low Power Mode

When you enable Low Power Mode on your Mac or iPhone, your device stops performing heavy tasks in the background to prevent battery drain. This includes data syncing between your Apple devices. So, we suggest disabling Low Power mode on your iPhone and Mac.

For iPhone

Open Settings > Battery > disable Low Power Mode.

For Mac

Step 1: Open Settings > Battery.

Step 2: Click the drop-down menu for Low Power Mode.

Step 3: Select Never.

Step 4: Close the window and open Voice Memos to check if the problem is solved.

Fix 3: Transfer Voice Memos via AirDrop

If none of the solutions work, the last option is to transfer your voice recordings via AirDrop from your iPhone to your Mac. Here’s how.

Step 1: Open the Voice Memos app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Tap on the voice recording that you want to transfer.

Step 3: Tap the three horizontal dots on the right.
