Duplicate a recording in Voice Memos on iPhone
You can duplicate a recording if you need another copy of it. You can also make changes to the copy, save it, and give it a new name.
Go to the Voice Memos app (in the Utilities folder) on your iPhone.
In the list of recordings, tap a recording, tap , then tap Duplicate.
The duplicate appears right below the original version in the list and has “copy” added to its name. To change the name, tap it, then type a new one.
Thanks for your feedback.
