Voice recording

Hey CiCi1961,

To make sure we're on the same page, you no longer have a pause option in the Voice Memos app? Some additional details as to what you see in the app will help us better assist you.

Per Make a recording in Voice Memos on iPhone - Apple Support, you should still be able to pause mid recording.

Use the advanced recording features

You can make a recording in parts, pausing and resuming as you record.

1. To begin recording, tap .

2. To adjust the recording level, move the microphone closer to or farther away from what you’re recording.

3. To see more details while you’re recording, swipe up from the top of the waveform.

4. Tap  to stop recording; tap Resume to continue.

5. To review your recording, tap .

6. To change where playback begins, drag the waveform left or right across the playhead before you tap .

7. To save the recording, tap Done.

Your recording is saved with the name New Recording or the name of your location, if Location Services is turned on in Settings  > Privacy & Security. To change the name, tap the recording, then tap the name and type a new one.

To fine-tune your recording, see Edit or delete a recording in Voice Memos.

Cheers!
