Seems since iOS 12 that my voice memos now delete after 30 days. Would have been nice to have received some non-vague heads-up that the default would change to "delete automatically after 30 days." I'm sure this notice was given somewhere, but it was only when I wanted to listen to some old recordings that I discovered this unfortunate change.
Some recordings were worthless, such as sounds of rain (I live in SoCal where rain is usually very uncommon), recordings of epic farts, & other things I can always record again.
...but other recordings were priceless and cannot be recorded ever again, such as my first child's earliest words and the unique way she spoke them, and my Husky howling - which he only ever did when NO ONE was present to hear it.
I'm posting in hopes that maybe someone has found this out too and has found a fix. Numerous searches of the forums and Lougle have not helped to recover these recordings. If you know of a way, please share.
This is also a rant. Apple'll never hear of it from me and surely between tc and investors, would not care - but this is yet another corner I've turned in which I've discovered that my apple device, which should replace so many individual items, is becoming increasingly unreliable. I won't drone on about this and that and I'm not saying they're a total loss; Apple Maps is #winning. Making all my movies 4K (where available) is great. Apple Music, not perfect, but is still pretty good. Just needed a place to vent (and hope someone can help) and I'm sure some of you will care and share in this sentiment, most will let me have it (I know, first-world problems) - but as a long time Apple products user and "loyalist," I've got to say, it's getting a little bumpy.
