2. How to share recordings from iPhone to another phone through Share

Signing into your iCloud on another device may be detrimental to your iCloud privacy protections, so you can also transfer voice memos from iPhone to iPhone through the share feature in Voice Memos.

Open the voice memos > Select the recording that you want to share > Click the “ ... ” icon > Tap Share.

Then you will see different ways to share, like AirDrop, Mail, etc.

Part 1. How to airdrop voice memos to another iPhone

AirDrop is a widely used iPhone tool that allows users to transfer files over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. You can tap to use AirDrop to transfer voice memos. (Before using AirDrop, make sure both parties have turned on this feature.)

Tap AirDrop > Select the transfer object > Wait for the object to accept your application.

To be honest, AirDrop also has certain defects in use, such as the low success rate of too large file transmission, and a certain distance limit, etc. Sometime, you may get issues like AirDrop failed to save item when using AirDrop for file transfer. If the above problem occurs, you can transfer the voice memo in another way.

You can also select Mail in the share. After clicking it, several different mails will appear, and you can choose one according to your needs. Then, you should enter the email information of the transfer object, and click Send. Transferring voice memos via Email is convenient and fast, but If you have a lot of transfer items, it will be very time-consuming. So, when the number of files to transfer is small, this method is more suitable.
