In this article, we’ll walk you through how to sav your audio (voice) messages to the Voice Memos app on your iPhone.

Organization: Keep your audio recordings in one dedicated place for future listening.
Backup: Preserve moments or instructions that might be needed later, even if the original conversation is deleted.
