Frequently Asked Questions
The video camera is grayed out on the main screen. How do I take a video memo?
You can't. The camera icon is grayed out because the hardware doesn't allow video to be recorded.
Why doesn't holding the iPhone up to my face start the audio recording?
Check the settings to see if the Audio Memo settings is On.
Why is there no indication that you're recording when you hold the iPhone to your face?
Memo to Self uses the proximity sensor to know when the iPhone is close to your face. The iPhone hardware automatically blanks the screen when the proximity sensor is activated.
How do I find out which memos alarms have gone off.
