How to Recover Deleted Voice Memo on iPhone without Backup
Voice Memo on iPhone is a handy feature for us to record any important voice, such as interviews, songs, lectures etc. in daily life. We can freely edit the recorded voice memos and add labels to the recordings as well. However, losing iPhone voice memos often happens after upgrading iOS or jailbreaking the iPhone. Even worse, you may not noticed that there's no backup for your iPhone yet until the voice memos are deleted by mistake. If that's your case, you should follow these tips to get back the lost voice memos immediately from iPhone 14/13/12/11/X/8 without backup (iOS 16 included).
What Should You Do/Not Do After Accidentally Deleting Voice Memos on iPhone
As a matter of fact, deleted voice memos are not permanently deleted from your iPhone. They will be temporarily saved in SQLite database storage system of your iPhone. After deleting the voice memos, you are not able to view them any more, but could still recover them if you want. In order to recover the deleted voice memos on iPhone, you need to look for assistance from some third-party iPhone data recovery software which can easily retrieve lost voice memos from iPhone even without backup.
But before restoring the deleted voice memos with these tools, there are some important notes you should pay attention to:
1. As soon as you found the voice memos are lost from iPhone, you should stop using the device. Otherwise your iPhone might be overwritten with the new data, making it impossible to recover the deleted voice memos any more.
2. It's impossible to recover the lost voice memos if your iPhone is broken and can't boot at all. In this case, the only way to get back the deleted data is extracting the deleted files from iTunes or iCloud backup.
3. If you have edited or trimmed the voice memos before deleting them, you can only recover the modified version instead of the original file.
