Are you getting disconnected from Discord calls constantly?
Many users have complained that ever since the last update, they’ve been getting kicked out of voice calls unexpectedly and frequently.
The calls drop without warning, even when their internet connection seems fine, making conversations unstable and frustrating.
Staying connected during calls is essential for smooth communication, so if Discord keeps disconnecting, it becomes a major problem.
A lot of factors ranging from poor signal strength, battery saver settings, or even Discord’s voice servers can cause calls to disconnect.
In this guide, you will learn how you can fix Discord constantly disconnecting during calls.
Quick Fix Summary (TL;DR):
- Restart your device.
- Switch from mobile data to Wi-Fi (or vice versa).
- Toggle Airplane Mode on and off.
- Clear Discord cache.
- Disable Battery Saver and Background Data restrictions.
- Update or reinstall Discord.
Why Discord Keeps Disconnecting During Calls
This is a classic case of tech acting petty.
Here are the main culprits:
- Flaky internet connection — inconsistent Wi-Fi or data drops your call like a bad habit.
- Battery or performance optimizations — your phone might be trying to “save power” by choking Discord.
- App bugs — recent updates can break voice stability.
- Background data settings — Discord may be cut off when running in the background.
If your voice calls keep disconnecting randomly or drop after a few seconds, it’s probably one of these messing things up.
Fix 1: Restart Your Phone
Rebooting flushes out all the background processes that might be blocking Discord’s connection.
Simple, fast, and often all you need.
Fix 2: Check Your Internet Connection
Switch it up:
- If you’re on Wi-Fi, try toggling it off and using mobile data instead.
- If you’re on mobile data, jump onto a stable Wi-Fi network.
Also, run a speed test to check your connection.
Discord calls hate laggy internet more than gamers hate ping spikes.
Fix 3: Toggle Airplane Mode
This sounds silly but works wonders.
Turning Airplane Mode on, waiting 10 seconds, and then switching it off refreshes your network connection. It’s like a deep breath for your phone.
Fix 4: Turn Off Battery Saver and Background Limits
Battery optimization is the silent killer of stable Discord calls.
On Android:
- Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Saver
- Turn it off
- Then go to Settings > Apps > Discord > Battery
- Set it to Unrestricted
On iPhone:
- Go to Settings > Battery
- Turn off Low Power Mode
Also, make sure Discord is allowed to use data in the background:
- Android: Settings > Apps > Discord > Data usage > Enable Background data
- iOS: Settings > Discord > Enable Background App Refresh
Fix 5: Clear Discord Cache
If the cache is corrupted, the app can bug out mid-call.
Android:
- Settings > Apps > Discord > Storage > Clear Cache
iPhone: No direct cache clearing, so skip to Fix 7 (Reinstall).
Fix 6: Update Discord
Always make sure you’re on the latest version.
Go to the Play Store or App Store, search Discord, and smash that Update button if you see one.
Fix 7: Reinstall Discord
If all else fails, delete and reinstall:
- Uninstall Discord
- Restart your phone
- Reinstall from the App Store or Play Store
- Log in fresh and test a call
Conclusion
Discord calls disconnecting mid-convo can drive anyone mad.
But with the fixes above, you’ll most likely kick the issue for good.
If not, don’t stress, sometimes it’s on Discord’s end, and they roll out hotfixes quickly.
Try each step, and you’ll be back to chaotic voice chats in no time.
And hey, if one worked for you, share this so others know what saved the day.
