Discord is Making Mobile Users Angry! | Discord News Recap

Discord woke up and chose violence. Well in this case, chose to anger a bunch of Discord users.

Because they decided to patch my tutorial on how to get the old Discord mobile UI / version. And while doing so, they completely disregarded doing something that would make us Discord users happy. C'est la vie I guess. Discord struggles to make a good update.

But for the rest of the news, I talk about what's coming up on Discord. And ironically, there is a really good experiment coming out for people who want Discord to be minimal. Your Discord server's member list will no longer be a cluttered mess. And what's that, more things to spend your money on in the shop! (I made that sound exciting, everyone broke dawg). And finally the Discord mod view. Which isn't AR glasses to the nearest fast food, it's something different. Rip my hopes and dreams ig.

I'll be honest, the UI looks like whatever, literally my only gripe is just around the fact that swiping right to left does that dumb reply system I rarely ever use (and if I do use it I just long press on the message I want to reply to), when I used it so often on the old UI to view the online list, so if they can get that experimental feature into an actual feature I'll be a little more okay with the new UI

[WindAndWander]

New UI does incredible things tho! Like, seriously! I love the new features where Discord now includes massive blank spaces after messages for no discernable reason, or when it just doesnt send messages; hides features that used to be easy to find... Destroy the usability of the friends list in the messages tab... Integrating a swipe to reply which is completely pointless...
10/10 Discord experience.

It’s official. If Discord does something that we like, they have to ruin it with another addon or change

Before - Swipe right and see all my servers and notifications and swipe left to go back

Now - Swipe Right, get put onto my messages or servers tab, swipe up to find the server I'm looking for or have to tap on the server icon to switch to the server menu and then scroll, then have to tap messages to go back to my messages and then tap on the message I want to return to

Absolutely god awful

[meowmeowcat]

Honestly the worst part of the new mobile update is how disconnected everything is. Making you have to do more motion, taps etc to get to things you could have got to with less movement and taps before.

I use both Desktop and Mobile Discord, but the new app is literally a downgrade. Everything is unresponsive, broken, reduces functionality and makes the end-user jump through hoops just do simple things.

[americanaviations]

At this point, they’re prob gonna make it worse by making the desktop ui look like the new mobile Ui.

[Bunker]

Discord should give us an option to switch back to the old UI

> Discord only putting effort into the shop

[LittleGrayRam]

Honestly my gripes with the new ui, beside the members list, is how they’ve nuked the search function in an irritating way for moderators, and made pins a mess if your server uses threads at all. All the threads pins show up in general channel pins, you can’t search just one thread, but you can only search one channel at a time, and the media has been cut from pins and they’re unnecessarily shortened each pinned message too. Discord how the hell am I supposed to check a members message history to figure out if they’ve had a trend in behaviour or smth I didn’t notice if I have to search all 25 channels once at a time

Discord isn't a Valentine's date NTTS, it can't break your heart

[AquaQuokka]

APKs still work though, don't worry guys.

The annoying thing is they recently broke the media uploading, which sometimes gets stuck on the screen requiring an app restart

[Etobio]

The clip from 8:18 is Need For Speed Most Wanted: 2012, thanks for making want to replay that game!

[GIRGHGH]

I don't even hate the new ui style that much, I just really dislike the change to the member list and server list system.
