To use a voice changer on Discord mobile, you must download a third-party app because Discord mobile does not have a built-in voice changer. This guide walks you through setting up a voice changer app on your iPhone or Android device and configuring your Discord audio and sound settings so your modified voice is heard in voice channels.
Does Discord mobile have a built-in voice changer?
Discord mobile does not include a native voice changer. No official Discord help page documents a supported third-party voice changer app, supported models, or version requirements for iPhone or Android. To change audio input on Discord mobile, you need to let a separate voice-changing app handle the audio on your phone, then make sure Discord has microphone access and the correct voice settings are selected.
Step 1: Download a voice changer app for Discord mobile
- Open the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android).
- Search for "voice changer" and browse the available apps.
- Choose an app that offers a user-friendly interface and a range of voice modulation options, such as robotic, alien, gender, or pitch adjustments.
- Tap Download or Install and wait for the app to finish installing.
- Launch the voice changer app and explore its voice effects and settings.
Discord does not officially recommend any specific voice changer app. Read ratings and reviews to find one that suits your needs.
Step 2: Grant microphone permissions for your voice changer
Access app permissions
Open your phone’s system settings and find the voice changer app in your app list. Look for the Permissions or App Permissions section, then locate the Microphone option.
Grant microphone access
Toggle the switch or check the box next to Microphone to allow the voice changer app to use your device’s microphone. If a confirmation prompt appears, respond affirmatively.
Adjust Discord settings
- Open the Discord app on your mobile device.
- Tap your avatar in the bottom-right corner, then tap the cogwheel in the upper-right corner to open User Settings.
- Scroll to Voice under App Settings.
- Ensure Discord also has microphone access enabled through your phone’s system settings. If Discord cannot hear you, use your phone’s system settings to allow microphone access.
Step 3: Adjust Discord mobile voice settings for your voice changer
Access voice settings
In Discord mobile, go to User Settings (avatar → cogwheel) and scroll to Voice under App Settings. Discord’s mobile voice guide says this is where you check the correct Input Mode: Voice Activity or Push to Talk.
Customize input and output devices
In the Voice settings, check that your input device is set to the microphone you intend to use with the voice changer app. Also confirm your output device (headphones or speakers) is selected so you can hear others clearly.
Adjust voice sensitivity
Set Input Mode to Voice Activity. You can then adjust the voice sensitivity slider (also called VAD sensitivity) to control when your modified voice is transmitted based on sound level. The retrieved Discord blog also says the mobile voice settings menu lets you adjust VAD sensitivity. Alternatively, you can use Push to Talk and assign a key to activate your voice transmission.
Step 4: Test your voice changer on Discord mobile
- Join a voice channel in Discord.
- Speak into your microphone while the voice changer app is active.
- Ask your conversation partners if they hear the modified voice and whether the quality is clear.
- If the voice changer is not working, return to Discord’s Voice settings and check that Input Mode is set correctly and that microphone permissions are enabled for both the voice changer app and Discord. Discord’s troubleshooting guide recommends checking the voice settings and toggling relevant options to see whether they affect your audio.
- Experiment with different voice modulation settings in the voice changer app to find effects you enjoy.
Discord does not have a separate “test voice changer” button. The main audio controls on mobile are Voice Activity and Push to Talk, which you can adjust in the Voice settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are voice changer apps safe to use on Discord mobile?
Generally yes, but download apps only from the official App Store or Google Play Store and review the permissions they request. Avoid apps that ask for access to sensitive data unrelated to voice modulation.

Some voice changer apps may introduce minor latency or distortion. Test the app and adjust its settings to find a balance between voice modification and call clarity.

Using a voice changer for fun is generally acceptable. However, using it to deceive, harass, or disrupt others may violate Discord’s terms of service and could result in disciplinary action, including account suspension.
Why is my voice changer not working on Discord mobile?
Check that both the voice changer app and Discord have microphone permissions enabled in your phone’s system settings. Also confirm that Discord’s Input Mode is set to Voice Activity or Push to Talk and that the correct input device is selected in the Voice settings.
Can I use a voice changer on Discord mobile without a third-party app?
