Can’t save 30+ minute long phone call recordings; demanding a legitimate answer.

Hello!

I recorded a 50 minute long interview through the new (and very awesome) phone call recording addition. As a Journalist I was DELIGHTED when I first caught wind of this new thing and I was so excited to use it. I recorded this phone call and excitedly waited for the transcript to load to no avail. This phone call is trapped in purgatory in my Notes app and is not able to leave. I’ve tried EVERY METHOD under the sun and it has not solved this problem (going to library/media/files) i’ve made poor attempts to share this file and it does nothing but buffer infinitely. I am being painfully honest when I tell you this file is NOT SHARABLE nor savable. I am desperate. I would do HEINOUS things for this file. I AM EXHAUSTED!!! Please somebody hear this outcry and tell me that you too have been drifting through hundreds of posts and have found NOTHING to solve this issue and NO Apple acknowledgement of how serious this issue is. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!


iPhone 12, iOS 18

Sorry to hear of your frustrating experience.


In virtually any endeavor …


… it’s generally advisable to TESTunder realistic conditionsany technical tool prior to using it for REAL.


(e.g. for recording a long conversation w/o also using the recording method(s) previously employed)


Again, regret the frustrations. As a fellow voice recording user, am particularly interested and looking forward to learning how this turns out.


However, it might just be another “life’s lessons learned.


🙁
