Make a recording: Tap or press the center button on your headset. Tap to pause or to
stop recording, or press the center button on your headset.
Recordings using the built-in microphone are mono, but you can record stereo using an external
stereo microphone that works with the iPhone headset jack, or with the Lightning connector
(iPhone 5) or 30-pin dock connector (earlier iPhone models). Look for accessories marked with
the Apple “Made for iPhone” or “Works with iPhone” logo.
Adjust the recording level: Move the microphone closer to or further away from what you’re
recording. For better recording quality, the loudest level on the level meter should be between
–3 dB and 0 dB.
Play or mute the start/stop tone: Use the iPhone volume buttons to turn the volume all the
way down.
Use another app while recording: Press the Home button and open an app. To return to
Voice Memos, tap the red bar at the top of the screen.
