Apple’s iPhone is more than the ordinary cell phone which sends and receives messages based on pure text. With the very fast and diverse technology we have today, your iPhone has the ability to record voice memos with just few scrolls and clicks. Some of you might ask: where should I use voice memos? Voice memos are very useful for recording classroom lectures, seminars, quick notes, recording precious conversations and more. However, to transfer voice memo from iPhone to PC is indeed a big challenge.
Unlike Android, iPhone does not have a backup feature where you could easily locate files stored in your iPhone. Its exclusivity and inability to pinpoint data makes transferring voice memos from one device to another a big pain to almost every iPhone user. Luckily, there are smart tools you can use to do the task easily.
