So you want to use the trickster voice effect on TikTok? But maybe you’ve never used it or it’s not showing up for you. Here’s the good news: We can probably fix that.
First things first. The first thing to try is to just…pull up your effects as you create a TikTok. And look for it there. But if you’re reading this post that means you probably don’t have it available. Here are some ways to troubleshoot.
Now first, let’s say you want to use the trickster voice as a text-to-speech narrator. It’s pretty simple. All you have to do is create a TikTok, then write out text using the normal text tool. Click the little face speaking, then scroll over to the trickster voice effect. It looks like this.

Now lots of folks have posted online saying they haven’t access to trickster and other voice effects. If you find yourself in that boat, the internet has come up with some solutions to fix it.
User samxnthx_ walked people through the process of fixing the issue if they have an iPhone. They said to go to settings on your phone, go to storage, scroll down, then offload TikTok. Now a key point: Save any drafts of TikToks you want to post before this because it will delete your drafts. They said to wait about a half hour, download TikTok again, log in, and you should be all set with voice effects. Basically, this seems to be a hard reset to get the latest voice effects.
If you’re having issues with the effect on Android, unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a good fix yet. But just hold out and usually these things get fixed with time.
