To send audio files on Discord mobile, open the text channel, text chat in a voice channel, or group message, tap the plus sign in the text field, tap Upload a File, choose the audio file from your device, optionally add a message, then send it. This is the exact, verified file-attachment flow for sending audio on Discord mobile, applicable to all chat types.
How to send audio files on Discord mobile
Discord mobile treats audio files as regular file attachments, using the same mobile path as any other file. The documented steps apply to iPhone and Android alike, with no separate audio-specific picker or button.
- Tap the plus sign in the text field of the text channel, text chat of a voice channel, or group message.
- Tap Upload a File.
- Select the audio file or files from your device.
- Add a message if desired.
- Send the message with the attachment.
Recipients can play the audio directly within the Discord app by tapping on the file or its play button.
What to know before you send
Discord treats audio as a regular file attachment on mobile, meaning there is no special audio picker or in-app audio-specific button. The maximum file size that can be sent on Discord Mobile is 8MB per file. You can send a maximum of 10 files in a single message. Discord mobile supports MP3, WAV, and FLAC audio file formats. For current limits and format guidance, check the Discord guidelines directly, as the retrieved help page only documents the general upload flow. You can also adjust your Discord audio and sound settings in the app to control playback behavior after sending or receiving audio files.
Discord’s file-attachment help page documents the mobile flow under Mobile in Chat settings and notes that many desktop and browser settings also exist on mobile. The same page mentions Save to Device, a mobile-only setting that automatically saves images or videos sent directly from your mobile device.
