Discord has announced the release of a new mobile app, stating that the platform has had a mobile app since 2015. However, with the addition of new features and the app’s responsibility to condense those features from the desktop version, it has become slower over time. Therefore, Discord has decided to revamp the mobile app and focus on improving its performance.
One of the first changes made is to the bottom bar, which now consists of four sections: Servers, Messages, Notifications, and You. The Servers section displays a list of all joined servers, currently in a vertical format. However, Discord plans to enhance this section, especially for users who have joined numerous servers. Displaying all the information on one screen may no longer be sufficient.
The Messages section consolidates both direct messages and group chats into one page. The search box allows users to search for anything they need without having to navigate through different chat threads.
The Notifications section provides a summary of all activities from all servers in one place. Users can also directly respond to notifications, such as replying to messages.
Lastly, the You section serves as the user’s profile page. A new search function has been added to the Settings, enhancing the user experience. In addition, Discord has introduced a new theme called “Midnight,” which features a darker background to save battery, particularly for OLED screens.
Discord has also made improvements to other aspects of the app, such as uploading image files, displaying video call times, and reducing app loading time. All of these updates are gradually rolling out to users through the latest app version.
TLDR: Discord has announced a new mobile app with improved features and performance. Changes include a revamped bottom bar, combining messages into one page, a consolidated notifications section, and an enhanced user profile. Users can expect improvements in uploading image files, video call display, and reduced app loading time. The updates will be released gradually through the latest app version.
