Muffled Audio

I don't have an actual mic so I'm turning my phone into one but it gives off a really bad muffled audio

Now before answering, do your research "Just buy a good mic" "ofcourse it'll sound bad" are pretty lazy answers Often people manage to turn them into pretty good mics

Probably have dust or something in the mic

Either take it to a professional or try pry it out with something that doesn’t conduct electricity Like a tooth pick but you have to be very gentle Or something could break

Sometimes compression can make it sound muffled so make sure when your moving it anywhere or your phone doesn't do any compression Depending on what phone you have, it may also be affected by how close or far your phone is from your mouth.

Compression in what sense? Audio quality or that obs filter where low volumes are increased? Hello?

Depending on how you transfer your audio file Some apps may compress your files#

Try loading an audio recording into audacity and see what you can do with it to help clear up the audio. Applying a noise gate and reduction filter may help.
