Apple Introduces Layered Recording Feature to Voice Memos on iPhone 16 Pro

The new iOS 18.2 update allows musicians to record vocals over instrumentals without headphones, leveraging advanced processing and machine learning.

The Layered Recording feature in Voice Memos is exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max with the iOS 18.2 update.
Users can record vocals while playing instrumental tracks aloud, with the A18 Pro chip isolating vocals into a separate track using machine learning.
The feature syncs recordings across Apple devices via iCloud, enabling seamless integration with Logic Pro on Mac and iPad for advanced editing.
GRAMMY winners Michael Bublé, Carly Pearce, and Greg Wells showcased the feature by creating the holiday track 'Maybe This Christmas' entirely on the iPhone 16 Pro.
The update transforms Voice Memos into a mobile recording studio, catering to musicians and creators who need professional-quality tools on the go.
