How to use pinch-to-zoom in the Voice Memos app on an iPhone to precisely edit and trim recordings

The built-in Voice Memos app on your iPhone is an incredibly useful tool to record conversations or musings that you don't have time to write down. 

Once you make recordings on the Voice Memos app, you can further add to them, re-record parts, and edit or trim them down. 

Sometimes trimming voice memos can look difficult. You can improve your accuracy of your editing on an iPhone running iOS 13, however, by using the same pinch-to-zoom method that works in most other apps on your iPhone.

Here's how to zoom in on a portion of your recording for finer editing abilities.
