Troubleshooting

Recordings don't appear in the list

1. 1Recordings now appear **instantly** after stopping — if one is missing, re-open the app to trigger a filesystem rescan.
2. 2Check that the recording is in the app's Documents folder (not a system folder).
3. 3If the file was moved manually via Files app, Sonidata will re-sync on next launch.

Voice Slate isn't working

1. 1Check that Speech Recognition permission is granted: **iPhone Settings → Sonidata → Speech Recognition**.
2. 2Ensure you have a stable internet connection for the first download of the speech model (subsequent uses are offline).
3. 3Try changing the Voice Slate Language in Settings if accuracy is poor.

Location isn't auto-filling

1. 1Check permission: **iPhone Settings → Sonidata → Location → "Always"** (recommended) or **"While Using"**.
2. 2If using "While Using", the location may take a moment to fetch when you first open the Naming View.
3. 3GPS accuracy is lower indoors — step outside for a more precise reading.

Files aren't organizing into folders

1. 1Check that Folder Organization is enabled: **Settings → Folder Organization → Mode** (set to Category or Full).
2. 2Check that Auto-Organize is turned on.
3. 3If files were recorded before enabling organization, use "Organize All" to batch-process them.

Siri Shortcuts don't trigger recording

1. 1Make sure Sonidata has been opened at least once after the update so the App Intents are registered.
2. 2Check **Settings → Siri & Search** and confirm Sonidata shortcuts are visible.
3. 3If using Back Tap, verify it's configured: **Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap**.

Live Activity not showing on Lock Screen

1. 1Live Activities must be enabled: **iPhone Settings → Sonidata → Live Activities**.
2. 2Ensure you're running iOS 16.1 or later (required for ActivityKit).

Export ZIP is empty

1. 1Check that your filters actually match some recordings (the preview count shows how many files will be included).
2. 2Make sure the recordings have audio files on disk (missing files are shown with a "missing" indicator).

Importing from Voice Memos doesn't work

1. 1Make sure you're using the **Share** button in Voice Memos, not drag-and-drop.
2. 2If the import seems stuck, close and re-open Sonidata — the file will be picked up automatically.

Theme looks wrong or colors are stuck

1. 1Switch themes in **Settings → Display → Theme**.
2. 2If using System, the app follows your iPhone's appearance setting (Settings → Display & Brightness).
