Automatic transcription. Switch it on and new takes become text while drop is open, still entirely on your iPhone. Or keep it On Demand and transcribe when you choose, or turn it Off entirely. Free up space. Remove a recording from this device when you need the room. It stays in your library and in your iCloud, ready to download again. Folder library and search. Browse every folder in one place and search all your recordings by name. More ways to handle takes. Move recordings between folders, long press any recording for its actions, and keep the last take on the recorder for a quick rename or replay. Playback boost. Gentle and Strong modes for recordings that came out too quiet. Also: faster CarPlay browsing and handoff, and better VoiceOver navigation throughout.

Transcribe your recordings. Any take can now become text, processed entirely on your iPhone so your audio never leaves the device. Free, and requires iOS 26. Link Audio Send. Send your live input to other Link Audio apps on your network, with no cable and no interface. Track numbers and artist names. Add a track number to any recording and set an artist per folder. Both are written into AAC and MP3 exports. Recording level for external gear. Adjust the level for external inputs, and hear the change in live monitoring as you set it. Also: Settings reorganized so recording names, export details, transcription, and playback boost are easier to find, plus a Today shortcut when naming folders. Fixed: recordings no longer stall if a file write fails mid-take.

Share your recordings as MP3 or AAC for smaller files with title, artist, and year information embedded. Fix: improved input switching between different mics.

Bug fixes and improvements.

CarPlay playback fix and smoother recovery after calls or Siri.

Small iCloud sync fixes.

Now runs on iOS 18, so more iPhones can join in. • The waveform shows up much faster after long recordings. • iCloud sync fixes.

Capture ideas without unlocking your phone. Start a recording from the Action Button, Siri, Shortcuts, a Home Screen Quick Action, or a new Control Center toggle. Stop from the Lock Screen Live Activity. Recording keeps going when the screen locks. • Long recordings save without freezing the app on stop. • Share recordings from iOS as the original file or as a WAV export. • Imports from other apps now show a clear queued confirmation, and multi-file shares stage every file instead of just the first. • Same playback controls in Drop, on the Lock Screen, in Control Center, on AirPods, and in CarPlay. • iCloud sync tells you when storage is running low instead of silently failing. Plus a fix that keeps an in-progress take safe from background cleanup.

Playback now starts correctly on iOS 26. Lock screen and Control Center controls advance exactly one recording at a time instead of skipping ahead. Long recordings open faster and no longer briefly freeze the app when loading. A new thank you screen appears after unlocking Drop Pro.

The iPhone now has a playback queue, so you can hear your ideas back-to-back from a folder. CarPlay support lets you play recordings from the car dashboard. iCloud sync now clearly shows when your storage is full.

Faster, more reliable sync between iPhone and Mac. Your recordings now arrive on your Mac menu bar sooner, ready to drag into your DAW the moment you sit down.
