3. Create a Backup (Optional):

   • You can use cloud services like iCloud or Google Drive to store your voice memos.

   • This allows you to access them on other devices and also keeps them archived safely.

     • Other Apps: Use apps like Dropbox, OneDrive, or other file storage services.

4. Backup the File:

   • Make sure the memo is saved to a location that is synced with cloud storage, or manually back it up to a computer.

On Windows (If Recorded via Computer or Apps like Audacity):

1. Locate the Recording:

   • Usually stored in a folder like “Documents,” “Music,” or specific software folders (like Audacity).

2. Archive the File:
