Are voice memos saved in iTunes backup?
Voice memos can be saved in iTunes backup. When you create a backup of your iPhone using iTunes, it captures most of your device’s data, including voice memos. By default, iTunes saves voice memos alongside other app data and settings. So, if you restore your iPhone from an iTunes backup, your voice memos should be included in the restored data.
It’s worth noting that in iOS 15 and later, Apple introduced a new backup system called iCloud Backup. With iCloud Backup, your device’s data, including voice memos, can be saved in the cloud and easily restored to a new device. This means that even if you don’t use iTunes, you can still have your voice memos backed up and restored using iCloud.
In conclusion, voice memos can be saved in iTunes backup, allowing you to restore them to your device when needed. Alternatively, you can also use iCloud Backup to back up and restore your voice memos seamlessly.
Where does iTunes sync voice memos?
In the latest iOS version, iOS 16, voice memos synced through iTunes are stored in the Voice Memos app on the iPhone. When you synchronize your device with iTunes on your computer, any voice memos saved on your iPhone will be backed up and transferred to your computer as audio files. These files are typically saved in a specific folder on your computer’s local storage, depending on the operating system you are using.
On a Mac, the voice memos are saved in the "Music" or "iTunes" folder. Specifically, you can find them in the "Music" folder under your user account’s home directory. Within the "Music" folder, there is a subfolder called "Voice Memos" where you can locate your synced voice memos.
On Windows, the location may vary depending on the version of Windows and the configuration of your system. The voice memos are usually stored in a similar "iTunes" or "Music" folder. You can navigate to the iTunes folder in your "Documents" directory and locate the "Voice Memos" subfolder to find your synced voice memos.
It’s worth mentioning that with the continual advancements in technology, Apple may introduce changes to how voice memos are synced or stored in future iPhone models or iOS updates.
