Hi community,


so basically the voice memos on my Watch aren't syncing to my iPhone or iPad anymore.

This started when I stopped having Bluetooth turned on my Watch and my other devices. I realised that especially my iPhone's battery gets emptied way too quickly. In addition to that, the main medical institution of my country has warned people of Bluetooth (and also of Wifi and mobile radio).

So basically I am turning Bluetooth on only once or twice a day to sync everything else on my Watch, and it works just fine. Except for the voice memos.

I tried leaving it on for a longer while, but it just doesn't sync them. And I know that it doesn't take that long (they are synced very quickly usually).

I was so stupid to follow a suggestion I found on the web, where you have to delete the voice memo app or something like that, or reset something, and I lost all voice memos that hadn't synced yet.

So basically I need a solution where all the memos on my Watch are conserved.


Does anyone know what I could do/try?

Thanks a lot. This is a very annoying situation. I hate that we constantly have to deal with these things. These gadgets should work and we should never have to deal with making them work again.

Okay, for some reason they are synced now. I just noticed that. And I also noticed that I've accidentally had Bluetooth on for hours… maybe it just needed longer.

Interestingly, the recordings aren't deleted from my Watch. Does anyone know if this should happen automatically once they are copied to another device or do you have to delete them manually?
