Hello. Before any of you reminds me of the Voice Memos app, yes, I know it is there, that’s not what I’m interested in.
I used a lot some shortcuts on iOS 12 and 13 on my iPad that allowed me to record audio of my surroundings while at the same time it opened Pages or a PDF reader in the main screen. My setup was so that once I hit this shortcut, it opened Pages or my current PDF and at the same time it started to record the sound (audio recording) in the background for a set period of time, lets say 55 minutes, after that it ended the recording and uploaded it to my iCloud folder. All in the background without having to open the Voice Memos app.
Now, with iPad OS 14 it seems like the “voice recording” tool from shortcuts is apparently broken, and when you hit the button for that same shortcut, it keeps stuck in the voice recording step. Trying to clear the screen changing the app breaks the recording. I’m not sure if this is a bug, or if Apple deliberately removed this awesome way of discretely recording voice memos at the same time I open Pages or any other app. Has any of you encountered this same bug? Any other app can manage to do the same as this awesome shortcut that stopped working with iOS 14? If this keeps broken this way forever, I will have to go back to the mac, which is not a bad idea considering how awesome the new M1 MacBooks are. Basically I managed to replace my previous MacBook Pro with my 11“ iPad Pro, but the lack of this shortcut might make me return to a MacBook.
Thank you.
