Export recordings

[etaleb]

hi there - any way to export a voice memo from apple watch without icloud backup being turned on?

Thx

You don't need to turn iCloud backup on. Just be sure that Voice Memos is activated for using iCloud by going to Settings > [your name] (Apple ID, iCloud, Media & Purchases) > iCloud . . . then under "Apps Using iCloud", click "Show All" and be sure Voice Memos is turned on. Then when you create a voice memo on your Apple Watch, it will be available on your iPhone and you can export it from there. There's no way to export if from the Apple Watch as far as I know.

I did this and on my voice memos app on the phone, I went toboth all recordings and watch recordings and don't see the recordings I've taken with my watch over the last 1 week

Thx

Is every voice recording stored as a separate file? And how are the named?

Thank's in advance!

Yes, on your Apple Watch's Voice Memos app, every time you press the stop recording button and then press it again to start recording, a new file is created. They are named "Recording," "Recording 2," Recording 3," etc. (For some reason, if you record them using Voice Memos on iPhone instead of on your Apple Watch, it names them "New Recording" instead of just "Recording" . . . not sure why there's a discrepancy). However, if you record them on your iPhone and have Location-based Naming on (Settings > Voice Memos), then it will be named after the location: e.g. "1 Brown St," "1 Brown St 2," etc.
