I have the Mac Mini (late 2012 version) and just downloaded Catalina. Not sure if it's always been there, but I noticed the "Voice Memos" app and, since I do frequent phone interviews, would like to use it via the speaker on my iPhone 8+. I opened it up this morning and tried recording a test message but without success. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions from this group. Thanks. - MGP

Welcome to the forum.

If I understand what you are saying, I don't think there is a microphone in the Mini. You would have to attach an external Mic, probably through a USB port, to be able to use Voice Memos.

That is, if I understand what you want to do--record a phone conversation that you plan to play through the speakers on your iPhone. Be careful doing that, there are some tricky laws about recording conversations that way.

Jake is correct, the Mac Mini does not come with a microphone.
