Fix AI Voice Effects Option Note Showing in Instagram DM
If you do not see the AI voice effects option while recording a voice note in your Instagram messages, a few key reasons could explain this. This is a new feature, so you may not have received it yet. You might also be using an outdated version of WhatsApp, or the WhatsApp cache may be corrupted. You can fix this issue by following the steps mentioned below.
1. Update Your Instagram App
AI Voice Changer is a completely new feature. If you are using the outdated Instagram app, you may not see it. Whether you are an Android user or an iPhone user, the AI Voice Effects option will start appearing in your IG DM once you update Instagram.
You can easily update the app from the Google Play Store (for Android) and the Apple App Store (for iOS).
2. Clear Instagram App Cache (Android)
If you have updated Instagram but the AI voice effects option is still missing, then one of the reasons could be a corrupted cache. However, by clearing the corrupted cache, you can fix this problem and bring back the AI voice changer feature.
- Open Settings on Your Phone.
- Tap on Apps > All Apps or Manage Apps.
- Find Instagram from the App List and Tap on Storage and Cache.
- Tap on Clear Cache.



3. Offload IG App (iPhone)
If you’re using an iPhone, unfortunately there is no dedicated option to clear the cache. However, on an iPhone, you can delete the outdated data of the Instagram app by offloading it.
For this, go to iPhone’s Settings > iPhone Storage > Instagram App > Offload App > Offload App to Confirm > Reinstall App.
4. Wait for Your Turn
If the AI voice effects option is not appearing even after updating Instagram and clearing the corrupted cache, you will have to wait for some time. This is because it is a new feature, and it is being rolled out gradually to all users.
Also, regularly check the Play Store or Apple App Store for Instagram updates. If there is an update available, install it immediately.
