TikTok has a fun voice changer feature that you can use to modify the sound of your voice in the TikTok videos you record. The feature comes with a wide variety of voice effect options to choose from. These options can include effects that make your voice sound like a cat, an echo, a robot, or like it's been affected by helium.

In this guide, we'll show you how to access TikTok's voice changer feature so you can start playing with all of its silly voice effects in your own videos.

How to use TikTok's voice changer

In the app, TikTok's voice changer feature isn't necessarily officially called that. It's more of a collection of voice effects you can access within its Audio Editing section.

You can use the following steps to access TikTok's Audio Editing section so you can start trying out these voice effects.

Step 1: Open the TikTok app on your mobile device and select the Plus sign icon to record your video as you normally would. Just be sure to actually record yourself speaking.

Step 2: Once you're done recording your video, you should automatically be taken to the video editing screen. On this screen, choose the Audio editing option. This option is also marked with a microphone icon.

Step 3: On the next screen, you'll be presented with a preview of your video at the top of your screen and a selection of voice effects at the bottom of your screen. You can swipe through the effect options to see what you have to choose from.

To preview a voice effect on your video: Select an effect, and then select the Play triangle icon on your video's preview. Your video should automatically play back your voice changed by the effect you chose.

Step 4: If you're happy with the effect you chose, select Save.

You'll then be taken back to the video editing screen from before. This time, however, your video will automatically play your voice with your selected voice effect added to it. You can now add filters or whatever else you normally would to your video and then choose Next to finish publishing your video.

A note about the availability of certain voice effects

You may have come to this guide to see how to access certain voice effects, like "Deep" and "Jessie."

But unfortunately, not all the voice effects that you see other TikTok users using are available for everyone. The voice changer feature is essentially a collection of voice effects you can use on your videos, but not everyone necessarily has the same collection of effects. Digital Trends contacted TikTok to get more information about the feature. And in one of TikTok's responses, it was explained that these voice effects are still in testing and so they won't necessarily be available to all TikTok users.

If they're available to you, voice effects like "Deep" and "Jessie" should show up in the Audio Editing screen we described in the previous section. So if you don't see a particular voice effect you heard about on your app's Audio Editing screen, it's likely because it wasn't rolled out to you. You'll have to wait and see if it rolls out to you in the future.

Snapchat’s Spotlight algorithm now favors human-made videos over AI-generated ones
Snapchat is taking a firm stance against AI slop.

If you've been uploading fully AI-generated videos on Snapchat in hopes of earning rewards, it might be time to rethink your strategy. Snapchat has announced changes to Spotlight that prioritize authentic, original creativity over content created entirely by artificial intelligence. The company says its recommendation system will now favor videos made by real creators, while fully AI-generated submissions will no longer qualify for monetization.

So what's changing on Spotlight?

LinkedIn is crowdsourcing its fight against AI slop
The company is rolling out a new button that lets you flag posts that seem AI generated.
LinkedIn seems like AI slop button

LinkedIn has a serious AI slop problem, and it's now turning to its own users to help fix it. The platform is rolling out a new button that lets users flag posts they suspect were generated by AI. It plans to use that feedback to fine-tune the system that decides how much reach a post gets outside a user's own network, based on how AI-generated it appears.

The announcement comes shortly after an analysis by Pangram found that more than forty percent of long-form LinkedIn posts are fully AI-generated, and it suggests that the reach-trimming measures the company rolled out earlier this year haven't been enough on their own.

If your phone's storage keeps mysteriously shrinking, WhatsApp channels might be part of the reason. Photos, videos, voice notes, and other media shared by channels can pile up in the background, and until now, cleaning them out hasn't exactly been a pleasant experience. That's finally changing.

WhatsApp is rolling out a new storage cleanup tool for channel media, giving Android beta users a much simpler way to free up space without digging through endless files one by one. The feature was first spotted in development a couple of months ago, and it's now beginning to reach select beta testers through the latest WhatsApp beta for Android update.
