Discord - Talk, Play, Hang Out 17+

New UI

The new Discord UI. Personally, I find it really confusing and hard to navigate. It seems like they've tried to cram too much information onto one screen and it just ends up being overwhelming. Plus, I've noticed a bunch of glitches and bugs since the update. It's frustrating because Discord used to be so simple and intuitive, and now it feels like I have to relearn how to use it. I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of the recent changes to Discord's UI. Don't get me wrong - I'm all for progress and improvement, but it feels like the new design is a bit cluttered and confusing. It's harder to navigate and find the features I need, and some of the changes seem unnecessary. I appreciate that Discord is trying to stay current and innovative, but sometimes simplicity is key. I'm hoping that they'll listen to user feedback and make some adjustments to the UI in the future. That being said, I still think Discord is an incredibly useful and valuable platform for communication and collaboration. The ability to create and join servers, voice and video chat with friends and colleagues, and share files and links is unparalleled. I just wish that the UI was a bit more user-friendly and intuitive, especially for newer users who may find it overwhelming. Overall, I think Discord is a fantastic tool, and I hope that they continue to make improvements to the UI to make it even better.

Spoiler Alert: There are No Spoilers...

I love the app, great to talk to my friends and everything, service is improving with each update and I’m able to find different chats easily enough. When it comes to discussing subjects like books or movies, though, I want to make sure that I’d have a spoiler tag to hide the words or image so people who don’t want to be spoiled stay spoiler-free. Problem is, through research when I couldn’t find it, there is no way to make a picture or sentence “spoiler hidden”, which ends up having me to avoid any postings or talk about movies and such. Having a way to turn a picture or post onto a spoiler post would be something fine since it exists on every other device known. Also setting a custom status is also a slight pain, once you make one it either disappears after a small time or stays forever, but what about having the option to save a custom status? So that way you could have up to three you can switch between or turn off on the fly without having to delete it and go through the process of making the same custom status all over again. I want to let my friends know when I’m at work, if I’m still asleep and other such so they don’t have to guess why I’m idle. I know Discord can’t make everything happen, but some quality of life improvements and features that actually match all the other versions would be nice after all this time. But it’s a great app, still.

Developer Response ,

Hey there! Just wanted to give a quick update since your original post - you can mark text as spoilers on mobile using the same Markdown syntax as on desktop! Wrap your text in bars ||just like this|| and it'll show up as spoilers when you post it.


On iOS specifically, you can mark text as spoilers by selecting the text in the text box and tapping it to open the context menu. Once you have the text selected, you can tap Mark as Spoiler to wrap the selected text in bars.

You can check out this link to our Help Center article for more details: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022320632



On the other hand, I'll definitely make sure to give the team an extra nudge and forward that feedback on having a dedicated button for marking images as spoiler on the mobile app too, and also being able to saving custom statuses that you could switch around!

As always, thanks again for taking the time to share all this feedback, and for all the kind words for our app. We really appreciate all the support!
