Try these in order:

  1. On the iPhone open the Watch app > My Watch > Voice Memos and make sure Voice Memos is turned on. Also check Settings > your name > iCloud > Voice Memos is on.
  2. 2. Restart both the iPhone and the watch.
  3. 3. Open Voice Memos on the iPhone and leave it open for a minute so it can pull the new ones.
  4. 4. If still stuck, unpair and repair the watch, restoring from backup.

Thanks for helping. But I’ve done all the above suggestions and still not. Before and after unpaired and repaired when I go to the watch app on my phone, Voice memo is not listed unless I click on Smart Stack. Idk. Any more suggestions?
