There are a hundred different ways to share things with your friends, but Discord stands out as a particularly good one. You can create individual groups (called servers) for your friends: the group that you play videogames with, the group that goes to the cinema together, and so on. This app first made its name among videogame players, but these days, Discord is used by everyone, in no small part because it’s easy to understand, quick to set up, and slick to use.
this seriously needs fixed
aaaaaaaaauwu
i love discord and use it daily. but with recent updates it has been extremely frustrating to use and difficult to do basic things, such as type and send a message. the text box is so glitchy. when trying to type a message, it doesn't expand with the amount of text so you have to wait for it to hurry up and realize "hey, there's more text coming" unless you want to risk typing blindly and making a bunch of typos. another thing is the new menu bar at the bottom when you swipe to look at dms or server members. if you try to go back to the conversation you're currently in, it either slides to the members in the conversation tab and is impossible to view the conversation itself, or it stays over the screen and blocks you from the conversation, causing you to have to restart the app. this happens quite frequently, and it frustrates me to no end. now, i realize that my phone may be the issue. i have an iphone 6, and i know it isn't exactly what you would consider a new phone by any means, but a messaging/calling app should NOT be the one app i can't run. i miss discord's simplicity, not only because it ran much smoother on my phone, but because that's all discord needed. i could talk to my friends, either by text or vc, and that's all i needed.tl;dr -- bring back the simpler discord. it's friendly to all phones and doesn't have all of the unnecessary junk. i get that aesthetics are important to an extent, but when they make usage of the app almost impossible for some, i think it's time to find a new aesthetic.
Recent updates seem to have lost the people’s interest

Recently the app has gone through many changes, and here I am. I’d like to say with the update that was pushed to my phone today, it is extremely hard to do much. The media list of people online was hard to find, the separation between servers and messages feels just plain wrong, the removal of numbers. I’ve been using discord since 2018, so maybe I’m being picky. But it seems Discord as a company doesn’t want to listen to its ‘consumer’ anyways. There was negative feedback about the removal of the number system for usernames, the altering links feature which can lead to scamming and hacking, and the lash back about the most recent UI changes.While I understand that company has to have integrity and be able to reason, I feel that in some stances the Discord company can’t see that certain changes might affect their platform negatively. My number one concern is that Discord isn’t listening to its users, you can be firm and have a middle ground. Some of the changes aren’t the end of the world, none of them are. But sometimes the changes can seriously endanger the users, if said users aren’t careful enough.That being said, the new update of separation of servers and DMs is annoying, the almost inability to find server members and their current online status is so, so infuriating as someone who checks this feature often. Oh, and to put it rather blunt, the new UI is very ugly.Discord is my number one app, it’s my messaging app, my notes app, I use this app more than I use the general texting app. Please, listen to your users.
Wifi vs Data
SOAPGAVSSUSHWWJHEVEV
I’ve had Discord for years, since 2017 and not had a lot of issues with the site other than bots at the time which has gotten a little better ig. I’ve always been able to use Discord with fairly easy use and consistency for the past years, but I’ve also have had wifi for the most part and even being off wifi in the past it has been good before with little issues.Now, recently, I’ve been coming across multiple issues. I now have no Wifi and have been using Data full time and it has become such a pain to use.I have Nitro and had it for a year now and for the past 6 months on data and it uses so much Data for one, I’m glad the clear cache is added but doesn’t do much or even really work and still have to uninstall the app when necessary ( apple problem ). The issues I have is messages refusing to load and send at all and can take up to an hour to send one message and have had messages continuously duplicate after each hard reset which is really annoying. Hard resets to the app does not reset the app all the time and takes many and multiple attempts even after waiting a minute or two. Trying to send photos which can and will take longer than an hour just to send or even load and gods forbid I send more than one photo at a time. I’ve had issues with false notifications, and issues with them not going away even after checking and hard restarting the app, multiple times. This wouldn’t be as irritating if I wasn’t paying for Nitro, and not the basic at that, and it struggle so hard to do the basic tasks above.
Developer Response
Try switching between WiFi and mobile data, or consider changing your DNS settings by following the steps here: dis.gd/dnsswap. This might enhance connection stability.
We've shipped changes on iOS and iPadOS that help reduce your image upload file sizes by ~17%. Your images will post quicker, and you’ll use less of your monthly data limit!
Voice Messages received fixes for those running iOS 26. If you were running into any problems with Voice Messages after updating iOS, your friends’ll now be able to hear you as clear as that fancy new glass design.
And even MORE updates, including stuff related to emoji reactions, visual flickers in the search menu, and the "Join Voice" button appearing when you’re already in a Voice Channel, can be found at dis.gd/PatchNotes.
(P.S. We also included a *potential* fix for the media picker getting stuck and preventing you from interacting with it. But if you still run into this, please report it to us; steps to reproduce would be a huge bonus!)
