Find Your Stuff

You asked, we listened! We merged the Servers and Messages tabs together for consistent navigation across platforms. Now you can seamlessly check between your server pings and DMs on mobile the same way you would for desktop.
Updated May 22, 2024: See our Blog Post for more details!

We separated the Messages and Servers tabs to better organize conversations. Quickly find your DMs in one place and server conversations in another.

Why waste time scrolling through every setting to find what you’re looking for when you could simply type in the new search bar instead? Now you can waste time in other places.

No more scrolling through every setting (unless that’s your thing) because now you can just use the new search bar instead!

Even more messaging

Quickly turn images into memes by drawing, adding text, or throwing on some stickers or emoji. Now available on all mobile devices. Maybe you too will be a famous meme one day.
Say more with voice messages. If you have too many thoughts to type out, or your joke just won’t land the same over text, we get it. Just tap, hold to record, and release to send a voice message in the updated Discord mobile app.
Select even more pics/videos at once, even the high-quality ones (up to 25 MB), and upload away. Uploaded content will show up in a sweet grid where you can swipe between uploads while still being able to see your message.

So Fast, So Smooth

We’ve been working hard this year to increase the app’s launch speed, load messages quicker, and make the app way more stable (AKA, down with the crashes).
Faster Launch Time

Faster Launch Time

Vroom, Discord got faster. We reduced app open time by 55% on Android, 43% on iOS this year. We don’t know how this is going to end without us inventing time travel.

Message Caching

Your device will store up to 700 recent messages in channels/DMs so that the app opens faster and conversations are available to you even when you’re offline or on slow internet. Finally, you can revisit your Wumpus fanfic offline.
