Iphone voice memos

[SM69]

Greetings-

I have hundreds of voice memos on my iPhone.

Is there any way to transfer theses to my PC?

Thank you.

There are probably better ways, but this should work.

Open Voice Memos and view the list of memos.
Tap Edit at the top right.
Choose the share icon (box with up arrow) at bottom left.

At this point you have all kinds of possibilities.

1) Save to Files: This allows you to save to any location available in the Files app. That can include a shared folder on your computer. You'll need to know your computers folder address smb://xxxxx. On the iPhone in files go to browse, tap the three dots icon at the top right, and Connect to Server. Once connected you'll see the folder in the computer under Locations. You must be on the same network, and your computer must have folder sharing enabled.


2) Save to a cloud drive; iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, etc. These may show up as their own options in the Share Menu, or they may be seen when choosing to Save to Files. Once on a cloud service, you can either copy then to the computer from there, or if you have that service synced on both the iPhone and computer they will show up eventually.

3) If your computer is a fairly recent Mac, use AirDrop. I don't really recommend this for lots of files, but it might work. Be prepared for a long wait for the files to transfer.

That’s good advice from twerppoet.
Just to expand on the way of using the ‘Files’ app if you’re not used to using iCloud.

Firstly make sure you have iCloud for Windows set up on your PC by going to iCloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID. Then you can select what you want to sync with your PC, make sure you check the box for iCloud Drive.
When you’ve done this you should find iCloud appears in your Windows Explorer.

Now to transfer your Audio Files from you iPhone, select the audio files you want in the app using ‘edit’ at the top. A quick tip to select multiple files here is to place two fingers on the first file, then drag down from the first file to select how ever many you want.

Next choose the option to ‘Save to Files’ from the ‘up arrow’ button at the bottom, choose ‘iCloud Drive’ from the options, and create a new folder in iCloud Drive called ‘Audio Files’, then click the ‘Save’ button at the top.

It may take a while depending on how many files you’ve transferred (maybe do a few at a time), but when they’ve finished you will find them listed under the iCloud Drive Audio Files folder in Windows Explorer.

It sounds a bit long winded but is surprisingly simple really!
