Hi bjorg82,


To make sure we're on the same page, are you missing specific voice memos? Or are the memos there, but you had originally renamed them and the names are gone? Some additional details will help us better assist you.


Also, if the title has specifically changed to dates, this may be expected behavior as part of security efforts within iCloud.


How Voice Memos data is stored in iCloud
To protect your privacy and keep your personal information secure, your iCloud data—including Voice Memos recordings—is encrypted in transit and stored in an encrypted format.
Starting in iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma, the titles of your Voice Memos recordings that you store in iCloud are also encrypted.

Because of this additional encryption, when you update one of your Apple devices to iOS 17, iPadOS 17, or macOS Sonoma, your devices that you haven't yet updated—with older versions of Voice Memos—may display the date and time of the recording (for example, "2023-08-11T07:53:31Z") as the title, rather than the previous title of the recording.


Let us know if that helps.


Cheers
