However, he can’t transfer the voice memos since his iPhone AirDrop cannot connect to his Mac. Now his iPhone voice memo app stores more than 200 recordings and takes so much space of his 32GB iPhone 7, so he decided to AirDrop some of these voice memos off his iPhone to the Mac. He has been used to recording voices around, such as sounds of nature, birds’ chirping, and even his hemming. On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Voice Memos.I know one traditional-music maker. Next to iCloud Drive (make sure it’s selected), click Options, then select Voice Memos. On your Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud. To have your voice memos on your Mac without using iTunes to transfer them, you can sync them using iCloud Drive: Tap or click Recover, then tap or click Recover Recording.Tap or click the memo that you want to recover.In Voice Memos, tap or click Recently Deleted.

You can recover a voice memo if it's still in the Recently Deleted folder: Voice memos stay in the Recently Deleted folder for 30 days and then are deleted permanently. The memo is moved to the Recently Deleted folder.

On your Mac, press the Delete key or choose Edit > Delete. Tap or click to select the memo that you want to delete.If you've recently deleted a memo you'd like to recover, check out the steps below: If not, you can verify if you're syncing Voice Memos with iCloud from Settings > Your Name, then look to see if Voice Memos is enabled. If you're using iCloud to sync your Voice Memos, any memos stored in iCloud should be present on your device. In iOS 11 and earlier, Voice Memos are included with iCloud backups and cannot be individually restored you would need to restore the entire backup to see which information was available to recover and this would also overwrite any existing data on the device. I can see why you'd reach out for this information I'd like to help. I understand you're looking to restore individual voice memos and you'd like to know if there is an alternative method to transfer your voice memos to your Mac without using iTunes. Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities.
