Hi Christine, I don't use the Voice Memos app a lot, but I just did a little test and recorded for a few seconds. After I stopped recording and saved the recording, at first I couldn't even double tap on it to play the recording. It listed the recording and Voiceover said "Dimmed" after it. I realized that when I did a double tap and hold on it, Voiceover would say Row Expanded" and at that point I was able to swipe through the screen and review the title, date, recording length, there was a slider for flicking up and down to adjust where you were in the playback and buttons for Play, Share, Edit and Delete. Obviously the Share button is where you would want to go, here I had the usual option to share via Air Drop, Message, email and also to "Save to Dropbox". Keep in mind that if your friend has never enabled that share extension, he or she may have to double tap on "More" and enable this.
To summarize, I think the Voice Memos app is a bit of a mess, it seems to be not exactly intuitive to use. For example, if you double tap and hold to expand the recording you put focus on, you do get buttons for Play, Share, Edit and Delete. However, there is no back button at the top left or a Done button at the top right and in fact the only way to get out of that screen is to tap the Edit button. As soon as you do Voiceover says "Row Collapsed", but while you can now record a new memo, you still are not on the main screen, you have to find the "Done" button to get completely back to the main screen. I also found that it is very difficult to find most of the buttons by exploring the screen, they are in strange places and appear to be very small. My conclusion is that one would be much better off to use a third-party voice recording app. If you want it super simple and it is your goal to have the recordings in Dropbox, just get the app "Dropvox". Note it has a "v" as in "victor" in the middle. I find it easiest to make a "Voice Recordings" Or "Voice memos" folder in Dropbox on the computer, then go into the Settings for Dropvox and select that folder. If you want it to be super fast you could enable to automatically start recording when you open the app and at this point all you have to do is open the app or ask SIRI to open it, once it's open it will automatically record, double tap to stop recording when done and your recording will automatically upload to the specified folder in Dropbox. You can even set it to only upload via WiFi and this way you wouldn't be using your data. The format is MP3 so it's very universal and you can play the voice memos with virtually everything. The Voice Memos app from Apple saves in M4A format, still no problem for most computers and devices, but I like how simple and functional the Dropvox app is.

I want to help a friend do this, but she has no option to send voice memos to dropbox. She does have the dropbox app on her phone, and it is linked to her dropbox account. Is there a way to make this option appear in the Voce Memo app? Thanks for any assistance. Kristeen -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
