I notice my iPhone voice memos stored in the Voice Memos app on iOS 13 (and synced with iCloud) aren't showing up on my MacBook Pro running 10.15.2. When I open the Mac Voice Memos app I don't see a single voice memo.

Also, I notice in System Preferences > Internet Accounts > My iCloud account there is no "Voice Memos" listed in the list of iCloud data.

Anyone else having this problem?

PS: on my iPhone I've confirmed Voice Memos are set to sync with all my devices.

Thanks for any help!
 
Did you check in Preferences ? < Apple ID < iCloud Drive < Optons < Voice Memos App

It may not be selected? - scroll to bottom of apps

Thanks for your reply. I've just checked and it is and always has been checked. Yet still nothing shows up in the app. So frustrating....
 
Syncing iphone voice memos to macos didn't work on Mojave as well. When I googled the problem, some people got it on their mac within some days... In other words, I wouldn't depend on it.
 
I think I’ve found the problem. I had same issue. BUT I hadn’t used voice memos on my mac. I launched it through Launchpad and said yes to sync and it’s now working.
