“Help! I used the trim feature and accidently trimmed the wrong part of a voice memo on my iPhone 7. Is there any way to recover the original voice memo? I need the voice memo back! Help!!”
Sometime you may be in a situation similar to the above-mentioned while using Voice Memos on iPhone. Voice Memos for iPhone is a good tool to help you record your ideas or thoughts in audio way, but you may trim the recordings wrong by mistake. However, once you click on “Trim Original” after you trimmed a voice memo, the trimmed one will immediately replace the original one, and there is no way to revert it unless you’ve synced with iTunes or iCloud before. But considering the encrypted structure of iTunes and iCloud, it’s hard for iOS users to check the backup directly instead of restoring iPhone. Hence this post will introduce two ways for you to recover untrimmed voice memos from backup other than restoring your iPhone.
