Add a Wave to Favorites
Mark the recordings you keep coming back to, then pull them up with one filter on any device.
Favoriting a recording gives you a one-tap shortlist — the interview you keep quoting, the lecture you're still studying, the call you have to follow up on. Favorites sync across your phone, the web app, and the Wave desktop app.
Marking a favorite
Wave uses a heart on mobile. Any of these work:
- Open the recording and tap the heart next to its title.
- Swipe a row in the list and tap Favorite.
- Long-press a row and choose Favorite from the Actions sheet.
Tap again — the action reads Unfavorite — to take it off the list.
Favoriting several at once
Multi-select has a favorite action on every platform. Select the recordings you want, then:
- iPhone & Android — tap Favorite in the toolbar.
- Web — the toolbar has separate Favorite and Unfavorite buttons. Wave clears the ticks afterwards but leaves multi-select on, so re-pick the rows for the next action.
- Desktop — click Favorite in the bar under the list.
Full walkthrough: bulk actions.
On iPhone and Android, bulk Favorite flips each selected recording rather than setting them all on — so a mixed selection ends up inverted. In the desktop app, bulk Favorite only adds; unfavorite there from the right-click menu.
Seeing only your favorites
Tap the filter dropdown at the top of the Home tab and choose Favorites. Until you've starred anything, the screen reads No Favorites Yet — Your favorite recordings will appear here.
Removing a favorite
Unfavorite the same way you favorited: tap or click the heart or star again, or use the Unfavorite / Remove from favorites action. The recording stays exactly where it was — it just drops out of the Favorites view. Nothing is deleted.
For heavier organizing, put recordings in folders instead — a recording can be favorited and filed at the same time.
