How to share a recording in Voice Memos on iPad

On iPad, you can share an audio recording with others (or send it to your Mac or another device) using AirDrop, Messages, Mail, and more.

You can share it as a rendered .m4a file with all audio effects and layers mixed in, or as an editable file that lets someone with a compatible device configure the effects and layers. You can share more than one recording at a time, too, from the list of recordings.

Share a recording

Go to the Voice Memos app on your iPad.
Tap the recording you want to share and tap the Share button.
Tap Share. Tap Options and choose one of the following:
- Rendered: Create a single .m4a file with all audio effects and layers mixed in.
- Editable: Share a file that lets a recipient with a compatible device and software update configure effects and layers.
Choose a sharing option, select or enter a recipient, and tap the Done button or the Send button.

Share more than one recording

Open the Voice Memos app on your iPad.
Tap Select above the list of recordings and then select the recordings you want to share.
Tap the Share button, tap Options, and then choose a file option (Rendered or Editable.)
Choose a sharing option, select or enter a recipient, and tap the Done button or the Send button.
