How do I export audio files from my iPhone?

Answered by Tom Adger

To export audio files from your iPhone, you can use the Photos app and a shortcut called iDB Video To Audio. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. First, make sure you have the Photos app installed on your iPhone. If not, you can download it from the App Store.

2. Open the Photos app and navigate to the video from which you want to extract the audio. You can browse through your albums or use the search function to find the video.

3. Once you have selected the video, tap on the share button. It looks like a square with an arrow pointing upwards and is usually located at the bottom left or bottom right corner of the screen.

4. In the share sheet that appears, scroll down until you find the option labeled “iDB Video To Audio.” This is a shortcut that allows you to extract audio from videos.

5. Tap on “iDB Video To Audio” and wait for the shortcut to load. Note that if you haven’t installed the shortcut yet, you may need to download it from the App Store before proceeding.

6. After the shortcut has loaded, you will be prompted to choose the location in the Files app where you want to save the output audio file. You can select an existing folder or create a new one by tapping the “+” button.

7. Once you have chosen the location, tap on the “Done” button to start the extraction process. The shortcut will then convert the video into an audio file and save it to the selected location in the Files app.

8. The extraction process usually takes a few seconds, depending on the length of the video and the processing power of your iPhone. Once it’s done, you can open the Files app and navigate to the chosen location to find your newly exported audio file.

By following these steps, you can easily export audio files from your iPhone using the Photos app and the iDB Video To Audio shortcut. This can be useful if you want to save audio from videos for further editing, sharing, or listening purposes.

Please note that the iDB Video To Audio shortcut is a third-party tool and may require installation and occasional updates from the App Store. Additionally, the availability and functionality of shortcuts may vary depending on your iOS version and device.
