Accidentally deleted an important voice memo on your iPad? You're not alone. Voice memos are a quick and handy way to capture thoughts, lectures, interviews, and more, but they're also easy to delete by mistake. Fortunately, there are several reliable methods to recover deleted voice memos from iPad, whether you have a backup or not.
The article will guide you step by step on how to recover deleted voice memos from an iPad. No matter the situation, there's likely a solution for you.
If you have just deleted a voice memo, the first step should be to check the "Recently Deleted" folder within the Voice Memos app. When you delete a memo, it typically remains in this folder for 30 days before being permanently erased.
Here is how to recover deleted voice memos on iPad from the Recently Deleted folder:
Step 1. Open the Voice Memos app on your iPad.
Step 2. Tap the back arrow in the top-left corner to return to the main list view.
Step 3. Select the "Recently Deleted" folder.
Step 4. Locate the voice memo you wish to restore.
Step 5. Tap "Recover" next to the file, or use "Edit" > "Select" > "Recover" to retrieve multiple files at once.
If you have already emptied the "Recently Deleted" folder or if the voice memo was deleted more than 30 days ago, but you have backed up your device via iTunes, you can try to recover the deleted voice memo on iPad from an iTunes backup.
