If you're experiencing issues with voice recordings stuck on "Downloading" on your iPhone 16 Pro Max, try the following steps: First, ensure your device is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network and has sufficient storage space.


Navigate to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Show All, then toggle off Voice Memos.


Wait a few minutes, then toggle it back on to refresh the iCloud sync.


If the issue persists, restart your iPhone and check if the voice memos download correctly.

Additionally, ensure your device is updated to the latest iOS version, as software updates often include bug fixes that can resolve such issues.


If none of these steps work, consider deleting and reinstalling the Voice Memos app, but be cautious as this may result in data loss if recordings aren't backed up.
