You’ll now see a “Recording is moving to Voice Memos” prompt when you open Music Memos. Let’s all take a trip back in time and rewatch our 2016 video about Music Memos. You can still export tracks to GarageBand just like before, too. The one released today, version 1.0.7 - we never even made it to 1.1, folks - allows users to export their Music Memos recordings to Voice Memos. And today, as noted by 9to5Mac, Apple has confirmed that Music Memos won’t be getting any further updates. It was an awkward middle child between the wonderfully simple Voice Memos and more capable GarageBand. You could name those tracks and give them star ratings, or tag certain parts of a recording like the bridge or chorus.īut considering how infrequently Apple updated Music Memos after its release, it’s fair to assume that the app never took off like the company might’ve hoped. You could record something with an acoustic guitar or piano in uncompressed audio, and Music Memos would detect the chords you played and could also add in drum and bass backing tracks that kept with your tempo. It was meant to expand on the built-in Voice Memos app’s ease of use while adding some features for musicians.
In 2016, Apple launched a new iPhone app called Music Memos.
