pple has announced that it will be shutting down the Music Memos app and is encouraging those who have used the app to transfer their recordings to the Voice Memos app.
In a new Apple Support document, Apple points to the Voice Memos app as the new place to capture music ideas with your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch. The company also notes that those recordings will be able to be imported into Garageband, the company’s free music creation software.
Use Voice Memos to quickly capture your ideas on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch. And with GarageBand, you can take your recordings even further with powerful music creation tools.
When you open the updated Music Memos, a notification will prompt you to export your recordings to Voice Memos. If you dismiss the pop-up, it will appear in another seven days. Once you complete the process, you’ll find all your recordings in a folder titled “Music Memos.” Provided you have iOS 14 or iPadOS 14 installed on your device, you’ll still be able to use Music Memos. However, after March 1st, 2021, you won’t be able to download Music Memos if it isn’t already in your App Store purchase history.
Apple didn’t say why it’s shutting down Music Memos, but it’s likely that not that many people were using the software.
