The Voice memos on iPhone is a very useful built-in utility to record vital phonic data. Have you ever accidentally deleted voice memos on your iPhone? Do you know how to access the deleted voice memos?
Sometimes, the voice memos could be lost or deleted by mistaken operation, iOS update, or other reasons. Read the following to get the methods to find recently deleted voice memos back.
After you delete a voice memo from the app, it will be moved to the Recently Deleted folder immediately. All voice memos in this folder will be kept for 30 days.

Step 3. Select the recently deleted voice memos and tap “Recover”. All recordings will be restored to their original folders right away.
If you accidentally deleted the recordings within the last 30 days, this method may be quick and simple.
However, if you couldn’t find the voice memos you want in the Recently Deleted folder, it means the voice memos are permanently deleted. You could recover permanently deleted voice memos via iTunes/iCloud backup or iPhone data recovery software without backup.
It is the official way to recover recently deleted voice memos via iTunes or iCloud backups. If you have made iTunes or iCloud backups including the recently deleted voice memos, it’s easy to recover them.
But need to mention that if there is any new data that was not included in the previous backup file, this recovery process will erase it.

Before you use this method to recover recently deleted voice memos that are not included in the Recently Deleted folder, you need to confirm whether you have an iCloud backup. Go to “Settings” > [Your Name] > “iCloud” > “iCloud Backup”.
Tips: You need to ensure you never enable Voice Memos to use the iCloud sync service, because the data stored in iCloud will not be included in the iCloud backup.

Step 2. Your iPhone will reboot and follow the setup wizard to reset your iPhone. After you come to the “Apps & Data” screen, select “Restore from iCloud Backup”.
