1) I backed up all my voice memos to itunes.
2) Then if I delete a voice memo from my iphone
3) When I sync it next to itunes will it also be deleted there or saved there?
All I want to do is to save all the voice memos in my laptop then delete them from my phone so I will have more space on the phone.
I am so confused help me pls. thank you

If you have backed up on iTunes and delete from iPhone. iTunes backup will have all the voice memos intact. But But...
If you delete Voice Memos and take a backup again on iTunes the new backup will overwrite on the old backup thus deleting all your voice memos that you have deleted.
There a re two options for you (To save space)
- Upload your Voice Memos to iCloud Drive and then delete from iPhone take backup what ever. all your file remain intact on iCloud Drive
- Move the backup to a new folder. (This has it disadvantage: when ever you restore from this backup this will erase every thing that has been updated on your device beyond this backup date)
I will always do Option 1 (Safe & Worry Free)

- How to safely back up voice memos from iPhone 7 Plus to Mackbook Pro 2019Hi, I have several hours of stories a young friend dictated on Voice Memos on my iPhone 7 Plus that I don’t dare lose! I would like to back the whole thing up on my MacBook Pro 2019. I remember reading that backing it up on iTunes might not be secure if I then delete it from my phone. It’s also in my Ipad, which is synced with my phone. I wanted to just back up my iPhone, and the voice memos with it, onto my MacBook without using iTunes, but when I looked for the phone under the Finder menu, it didn’t show up. Only iTunes showed up, and the only option I had was whether to encrypt or not. Does anyone know if there is a way to back up all the voice memos at one without using iTunes, with or without the rest of the content in the phone? Obviously I know very little about any of this, and I’d appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance! 2812
