On Android, the recordings directory is usually visible only when the phone is connected to a computer by USB and file transfer mode is enabled.
Voice Recorder stores files in an app-specific directory on internal storage. This is part of Android's app security model. The folder is not easily accessible to other apps, which helps protect recordings from accidental deletion and reduces unwanted access from third-party apps.
For the main Android Voice Recorder app, the folder is:
- Voice Recorder:
/Android/data/com.first75.voicerecorder2/files/Recordings
The app can also show the selected directory in Settings > Files Options > Directory, but browsing to that folder directly on the phone may be limited by Android storage restrictions.
If you want to move recordings into a more easily accessible folder without connecting to a computer, you can also do it from inside the app:
- Open the recordings list screen.
- Select one or multiple recordings.
- Tap Share.
- Choose a file manager app from the share sheet.
- Use that app to copy or save the selected recordings into another folder that is easier for you to access later.
To access the actual folder more reliably:
- Unlock the phone.
- Connect it to a computer using a USB cable.
- Tap the Android USB notification.
- Select File Transfer.
- On the computer, open the phone storage and browse to
/Android/data/com.first75.voicerecorder2/files/Recordings.
If you uninstall the app on Android without choosing an option such as Keep app data, Android can remove the entire app data directory together with your recordings.
