Download Voice Memos From Iphone

I use Apple's Voice Memos app for a variety of tasks — recording notes for work; strange foley sounds that might work well for The Incomparable's radio show; or, more recently, short song sketches or covers.

When I want to get those off my iPhone, I've got a few different options: It all depends on what computer I'm using.

If you're not on your primary computer for iTunes syncing or you'd just prefer not to use iTunes, there's a far simpler, easier way to get your memos onto your computer: AirDrop. Make sure both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your iPhone and Mac, then do the following:

  1. Open Voice Memos on your iOS device.
  2. Select the track you'd like to download.
  3. Tap the Share button.
  4. Wait for your computer's AirDrop icon to appear, then tap it.

Your voice memo will then download to your Mac's Downloads folder.

If you're using an older Mac that doesn't support cross-device AirDrop, you can also go the tried-and-true older route: sending yourself a text message.

  1. Open Voice Memos on your iOS device.
  2. Select the track you'd like to download.
  3. Tap the Share button, then tap Messages.
  4. Address the new iMessage to your iCloud address.
  5. Press Send.

From there, you can open up that message on your computer by using the OS X Messages app.
