But like any app on your device, it will eat up storage space and this could be a problem for you, especially if you also have a lot of other data on your iPhone and don’t have a big storage space for it.

The only way for the app not to eat space is to transfer the voice memos from the iPhone to the computer. It is not hard to do this, as you will just need to follow several steps to properly do it.

Part 1. How to Transfer Your iPhone's Voice Memos to the Computer

Transferring the voice memos from your iPhone to your computer, especially the older memos, is a needed move to free up more storage space on your device. It is not hard to do this, as the process is not a very complex one.

1. Using Email or MMS to Transfer Voice Memos from iPhone to your Computer

Now there are several ways that you can transfer your voice memos to the computer and the first one is via email or MMS. Now, this process is ideal if you’re only going to send a small size of the voice memo. If it’s a large file, then this process should not be your choice, but if its small, then this is the most convenient way.

To begin transferring files:

1. Go to the Voice Memo app on your iPhone

2. Select the memo that you want to transfer to your computer (remember it should have a small size)

3. Click on the Share button

4. Here, you have a choice to send the voice memo via email or MMS

5. Follow the instructions given after choosing how you want to send your file

Whatever you decide to choose, both will do the trick. But as mentioned, this method is only effective if the size of the voice memo is small. If you the file your transferring is large, or you have more than one file to transfer, then the next method should do the trick.

2. Using iTunes to Transfer Voice Memos from iPhone to your Computer

The other method to transfer your voice memo to your computer is through iTunes. Apple doesn’t usually support transferring if media type files, like music and videos, from the iPhone to the iTunes. The only media type file that they allow that is actually the Voice Memo.To use this method in transferring your voice memo, you need to:

1. Connect your iPhone via the USB-cable to your computer

2. Open iTunes

3. Choose your iPhone device on the main menu

4. On the left sidebar, choose the Music option

5. Tick the Sync Music

6. Tick Include voice memos

7. Click Apply to synchronize the music and voice memo of your iPhone to your iTunes

Part 4. Conclusion

The Voice Memo app of Apple is one of the most interesting tools to have for recording things you want to keep, like interviews, songs, lectures, and more. The problem with this app is that, like any other app, it will eat up space in your iPhone’s storage.So if you use this app a lot, you are likely consuming a lot of storage space on your iPhone. Now to ensure that your iPhone will always have space, it is best that you transfer some of your old voice memos to your computer.

There are several ways that you can do this, one is through email or MMS, which is the most convenient way to transfer voice memo. The only problem is that this method is only applicable if the size of the voice memo you are transferring is small.If the size is big or there is more than one voice memo that you want to transfer, then you should do it through iTunes. This is easy and simple to do and is also a very convenient way to do it. The voice memo is also the only media type file that iTunes allows being transferred to a computer.

If you don’t have an iTunes account and you have no time to create one, then I suggest you try transferring your file using a third-party provider. I recommend using FoneDog’s iOS Data Backup and Restore software.It is an easy-to-use software that is designed to backup and restores the files and data of your iOS devices. But it can also be used to transfer files from your iOS device to your computer.
