We do not store remote copies of your recordings. If a recording was permanently deleted from the app and you do not have an exported copy or backup, we usually cannot restore it.
Check Recently Deleted
Open Voice Recorder and check Recently Deleted. If the missing recording is listed there, restore it from that screen.
Recordings in Recently Deleted are still kept by the app for a limited time. If you delete a recording from Recently Deleted, or if it expires from that section, it is removed from local app storage.
Check exported copies and backups
If the recording is not in Recently Deleted, check any place where you may have saved or shared a copy:
- A folder selected through Export recordings to a folder.
- iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, or another cloud storage app.
- A computer where you previously transferred recordings by Wi-Fi, USB, AirDrop, email, or messaging apps.
If it is not there
Unfortunately, permanently deleted recordings usually cannot be recovered by Smart Mobi Tools. The app stores recordings locally on your device, and we cannot recreate an audio file after it has been removed from app storage.
File recovery apps may claim to recover deleted files, but results on modern Android and iOS devices are limited because app storage is protected and often encrypted. Be careful with third-party recovery tools, especially if they ask for payment or full device access.
Prevent future loss
For important recordings, export a copy to a public folder, cloud storage, or a computer before deleting anything from the app. Avoid uninstalling the app unless you already have backups of recordings you want to keep.
