Discord - Chat, Talk & Hangout 17+

This app changed my internet life for the better!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

To start off my journey of discord, my friends really wanted me to get it, so I eventually listened to them, and I’m really glad I did. I friended my friends and started chatting to them and eventually made my first server. I have now made three and I am in 6 (including my own). I have met amazing people in this, including people I don’t know in real life. I don’t friend those people, but I still talk to them in other servers. As soon as I got the hang of discord I gave up messages/messenger completely, apart from one part. Sometimes, I have to use messenger/messages to send videos to my friends because the “file is too big.” I really want this to get fixed because it means I can’t send these videos to people that I am friends with in discord but aren’t in my contacts, and it’s also a hassle. Apart from this one small flaw, this app has changed my internet life for the better, and everyone should download it, rate it five stars and tell their friends to go and download it, because this app deserves more glory than it gets.

The new UI 💀💀💀

I’m someone who loved using the old easter egg ui, instead of being a “scaled down desktop app” the app was finally designed for mobile use, and what do discord do? They remove the choice, they merge the easter egg ui with the old ui. Luckily they kept the features i loved from the easter egg ui such as swiping left to reply or accessing media and server members by pressing the channel name at the top (although for those that never used to easter egg ui, discord doesn't make it clear where to find these). However discord decided to keep the old ui for the server and channel side menus, remember when I called the old ui a “scaled down desktop app”? Kynthia in a recent Help Center Article used these exact words to describe the old ui too, yet the new ui released tonight has the exact same issues, its a scaled down desktop app with small changes. It’s not just me as someone who used the easter egg ui that’s mad, it’s also those who liked the old ui, instead of being given the choice to choose between the old ui and the easter egg ui, they've been mixed together and we lack a choice to change it. This could have been done very differently, we could have a separate option for the old server menu and the new (easter egg) server menu and then one for everything else, but instead we’ve lost the ability to choose how we would like to use the app as that is Discord’s choice now, not ours.

Bug Fix? More like break the app more

Updated the app yesterday for bug fixes, but ended up with the app being completely unusable. Once you go into the app, the logo page loads up then the app force closes within 10 seconds, rendering the app not functional. This new ‘update’ is not a great early Christmas present.

But the app continued to function well before this disappointing update. It worked great as a place to socialise with various people of similar interests. I do recommend people to join and interact with others because it’s one way to socialise online. However I don’t really recommend this to those below 15 - 17 years old or people who like to spew nonsense like a gibberish toddler or like to create drama out of nowhere; doesn’t make a great social interaction for anyone. Only advice for those still wanting to use this is: be street smart and a responsible individual (which should apply to anywhere offline and online spaces as well).

Back to the issue: now that the app is like this, there’s not gonna be any sort of socialising that can happen with this technical problem. On the App Store, it states the app still supports my iOS (iOS 12.5.6), so not sure if that’s something. Installed and reinstalled to no avail either. Would greatly appreciate this to be resolved soon.

Does this connection problem happen if you swap over to data? Also, can you try a different WiFi connection if possible? If neither work, please reach out to our Support team so they can take a look: https://dis.gd/contact
