Discord's Mobile App is.... good now? 

"those poor sla - i mean development at discord" is vile 😭🙏

No views in 16 seconds, ntts really fell off.

I love how they are eventually just going to revert to the old layout through these updates and effectively render the new one obsolete.

it won't be perfect until there a "are you sure you want to call (user)?" THE AMPUNT OF TIMES IVE ACCIDENTALLY CALLED PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE APP LAGGING AND CLICKING WHERE THE CALL BUTTON IS WHEN IT DOESNT SHOW UP INSANE

Once they have finished with all these experiments, they should focus on polishing the performance of the app itself. Too many weird bugs keep popping up whenever I just want to do some basic thing in the app

how about they just… make an “old ui” option 🤯🤯

Wait until discord makes the swipe to reply setting for nitro only

The mobile app update was so dogshit that I had to revert to an older version of discord in order to comfortably use the app, thank goodness they are actually making some effort to make it better

Swiping from right to left to view the member list is a must. It matches the desktop/web client’s design.

Was never more proud of keeping my Discord not updated and so old the UI didnt even exist yet.

Even though this is a great start, the amount of other issues/bug are getting worse: 1. Clicking a Device Notification (Android/IOS) from a message in a server, sometimes the channel scrolls up then back down to the correct message you wanted to see, which takes a long time. Sometimes it jumps to the message, sometimes is does not. 2. Unread messages not being marked as read, mainly in direct messages... (one of the worst problems) 3. Moving between servers, dms, profile, etc takes a little bit longer to load than before

I still miss the search button from the old discord app. Being able to search a server’s name and instantly jump to it was something I did constantly, and was removed in the new app

3:55 the problem is, if you're typing something big on a small phone and you want to stop typing out the message and look for at something - its impossible because the chatbox covers the whole screen. + i believe on android there is a 4th button near all that mess - delete the whole typed out message, which is really easy to hit

These changes are gonna make me stop suffering every time i use the app, thank you discord. now i hope they also improve performance cause it's pretty sad that my brand new phone takes almost 2 seconds to switch from dms to servers

I love how “fixing the app” is just reverting the changes. Nevertheless I’m glad they’re doing as such, I’m tired of using the browser version of discord on my phone

It's amazing how literally everyone is telling discord to go back to the old one, and they STILL aren't listening Edit: controversial reply section

''It is what it is.'' -Discord

I mean honestly, the buttons at the bottom in a chat are really cluttered. You dont need the gift button, you dont need the buttons to be that big on their own The text bar in the discord chat is like 30% of the total width The text bar on whatsapp for example is like 80%, so discord is just doing something weird and wrong there

One month later, the app is still dogshit. Just give the old app back as UI customization. For people that like it, cool. For people that like the old UI, great, they can use it. The new discord app sucks. It's slow, it hardly functions, and often sends DM's to the wrong person.

Everytime this man works all time just to give us information and entertainment (and a bit dad jokes). This man deserves more

As someone with small hands, I liked the messages button being moved to the bottom of the screen. It makes it easier to use the app while holding the phone with one hand.

I misread the title as a 'Discord's Mobile App is gone now?' and was excited at first until I read it more carefully.

a lot of discord's decisions are downright bad but i do genuinely believe that their approach to colour accessibility is one of the best out there. soooo many apps and websites focus on high-contrast for improved visibility-- but that's only half of the issue! i can't stand high contrast, i need things to be less saturated and more similar for it to be even remotely usable for me, and discord's built in saturation slider on desktop has been a godsend. very glad to see that and more coming to the mobile app.

2:54 my favourite bit is that you tap on the plus and get the option to use your camera then you tap on photos and get the option to use your camera _again_ because i 100% want to use my god damn camera when on discord

It really feels like every update breaks the app more and more.. this current update actually made my experience worse (in terms of bugs and glitches)

I love the swipe to reply feature. I hate that if you do that to your own message it becomes swipe to edit, unless you only half swipe on your own message. Oh and if you start editing your own message, anything you had typed gets completely cleared.

0:38 "Ladies with gentle hands" 😭😭😭

In Brazil we often use the button to send audios to another person, we use it like WhatsApp, where in your region they don't use it much I believe.

Thank you for this! I noticed the plus icon every time I go to upload an image now. Discord needs to stop messing with people's muscle memory.

I can’t find the swipe to see who’s online feature

i got the update on mobile that features the Turn off reply on swipe option, but i cannot find it anywhere lol

how do you get these features so early???

dude the ui just went back to this for everyone and I've already gotten used to the old ui

damn, I don't even mind most changes, what bothers me the most is that each update makes Discord less and less responsive, like now I often have to wait around 10 seconds to switch between channels

Love your videos. Thanks for the work your always put in.

Congratulations on 700k!!!!! I hope you reach 1M and 10M!!!

The only thing i hate about swipe to reply is that when you swipe on your own msg it SOMETIMES goes into edit mode, even though it even shows the reply icon while swiping

some nice quality of life features...that i already had with vendetta the new theme layout and aesthetic is just generally awful and again, they just need a button to fully return back to the old UI with the trade of locking the new layout customization features

Nice to see them improving the mobile app. I still have mine downgraded, but with the direction things are headed i can see myself willfully switching to the new UI.

I really love your videos bro... Thank you for keeping us all always updated, excited and laughing lol

Honestly after some time with the new UI I don't have major problems with it and there are some parts that I like more than old layout but there are still some quirks and bugs that are super annoying. The way the image selector is unnecessarily split into two where it could be one button just like in the old layout or the discord gift nitro shoved in your face when you want to text someone just for you to missclick. Now, bugs. There are some bugs that are super annoying. Sometimes emoji bar refuses do slide up or slides up in the middle or doesn't go down it's super annoying and irritating and another one I expirienced was when I was in dms or in a server and my chat was stuck in one place and when I moved it down or up it kept going back to the same place. In conclusion while UI update wasnt necessecary I think it's still pretty cool after some time getting used to it. There are some stupid changes and bugs but I hope discord can iron them out.

6:53 as an android user, i cant find that

I actually got access to some of the experiments without and modifications. The typing indicator is a banger one.

BTW if u swip on ur own messages it turns into " edit message" WHICH I REALLY REALLY LOVE

They made the mobile app worse.

2:00 my pfp brother

1:53 i always do that to just see the people in a server

I remember when you posted the video that they were updating the app and you said we'd just get used to it. Not only did no one get used to it, it was horrible to figure out where the ping was from. Was it messaged or a server? Now with it being put back in the correct spot it's much easier to tell. When they updated it to be at the bottom, it was a whole new page for DMs and servers, which was absolutely annoying as well. Honestly GFY for siding with them when they took that top left button away. I'm still salty that you just said "get used it it" and supported it. Glad they are bringing it back and we still have the nav bar at the bottom. At 4:05 they need to get rid of the gift button, no one is gifting nitro through it, just put it elsewhere. Keep the plus, picture and emote button on there.

5:05 bro didnt have to do him like that 😭

NTTS thank you for blessing me again ❤

These new features for the mobile app look great! Can't wait to use them!

5:13 not only in iOS beta, it's available on Android beta as well

i actually do like the saturation slider at least, i always use 0% on desktop

The biggest problem right now in my opinion are the random crashes of the app. It literally happens randomly with no way to recreate it, 5 - 8 times a day.

This is the channel we needed but we did not know

As a developer I actually LOVE the new slash command/app launcher menu

I have too many servers, having to scroll up if I was near the bottom for DMs sucked on mobile. Them finally improving the bottom bar for mobile helped me quickly get into DMs, sure it took a week to learn to click there, but ti saves me so much time. I hope this is more of a toggle feature versus just throwing it back up there.

I really like the new App layout. It fixed all the problems I had with the App and I can finally use it as a pleasant mobile messenger.

I love that they still have not realized how bad these changes are on the older devices still being supported, like my iPhone 5s on iOS 12.

Swipe to see memeer list makes way more sense. You swipe so the things that are hidden at the right sight, come into vision.

They should make it so we could customize the colors of everything and then allow us to save our presets and even share them with other users. Like custom themes in a way

the swipe to reply thing works on the beta version, just you have to swipe on the top or click the back button to go back to server view

6:20 this experiment has been there for months but still not rolled out

Truly inspirational that the breathing at 3:41 is the most replayed part. We live in a society where people find ASMR everywhere

The fact that there is Subway Surfers in the background of some parts is hilarious. 😂

Note 9 user here. App still lags more and more with each update. I think they only test a few different models of device. It's getting funnier each week.

I love how he is always so prepered with his chrome tab groups

The complaint about needing a wider phone is valid, at least for certain Android devices. Things like the Galaxy Fold outer screen, or even the main screen on the Galaxy Flip line of devices are less wide then your average phone, and the chatbox is already pretty slim on these devices in the Discord mobile app. adding more buttons would effectively result in the chatbox being just another button at the bottom on these devices...

OMG I'm so happy Mindustry's Discord got in the video it's such an underrated game

I love getting a push notification for this video 18 hours after it released

Amazing! And yes it became better for sure! 👌

Congrats on 700k

I just absolutely think it's unacceptable for my call quality to go down so much. And it affects the audio quality across my entire cell phone whether or not I'm using Bluetooth headphones. I only came across this video because I've been spending the past hour and a half trying to fix the call quality and I realized I need probably a discord APK that doesn't change from the normal audio profile to the profile. Making everything sound like it's in 1980s phone call

I swear, now that people give it good reviews again they must be thinking at discord HQ about the "next redesign"

man imagine how amazing it would be if discord added more options for the layout, just like when they said tabsv2 was going to be optional, they could do the same with some of those experiments and I know the buttons hide but its still unnecessary to add more buttons on the message bar, its already enough with the voice message and gift

I want to find the genius designer at Discord who put the media button, something everyone uses regularly, in a nested menu, but left a dedicated Nitro gift button right on the omnibar, despite 99% of users not gifting Nitro more than once in a lifetime.

They should probably make an option in advanced or the appearance tab and just add an option named "Classic UI" or something like that

Can confirm. Account switcher is currently NOT available in the discord android app, and I'm on the beta. Latest build (at time of writing): 221.0

Oh COME ON I like the new UI, my phone is too big I like having the friend list on the bottom it's more comfy

It is scientifically proven that his silly smooches at the end of the video have the power to make ur day in an instant

Some of these look actually good. For now, I'm still staying on an old version, works good enough and there are still some kinks to be worked out

In my opinion swipe to reply is a good thing, but many apps are able to execute it while at the same time keeping the navigating pages function. Also, discord decided to make you swipe in the other direction than any other app, which really messed muscle memory between apps

My main issue is that when you try to search for a message in discord mobile it searches *in that channel* and not the server now

They definetly also have to fix some other bugs in the mobile app, especially the issue with GIF images causing the app to lag extremely and if there are more than 2 GIF images it will freeze the app.

Cool now Idk where to tell discord about this but adding the ability to switch clients instead of leaving and join the VC on the other client would be great.

You know that episode of Spongebob where he stops being a fry cook to be a movie star or smth and then came back and ended up making patties while thinking he's entertaining and the fish are like "that's what we've been waiting for!"

the most thing i wish they work on is to make mobile game status is worked with latest version

Am I the only one that just likes the new app and the new direct messages tab? :D

what is the chrome tabs with colors i really like it and i would like to have the name, could i have the name? pretty please

There's so many bugs tho which I wish they'd fix. The camera is upside down when i vid call on my phone and turn it sideways, the voice messages are too quiet, app randomly freezes, mainly on android. And it sucks :(

I absolutely love when that the nitro gifting button is pretty much in the same spot as the servers button, so when it lags upon me simply tapping the servers button, i press it again out of frustration and it opens up the nitro gifting tab. Almost feels intentional.

the most annoying part of the mobile app for me is that the scan qr code is hidden in the settings menu. before it was easily accessible when swiping to the left

Normally your videos seem like a discord shill psyop but these are actual good changes so respect to discord for listening for once.

i've been on an outdated version ever since, and i'm surprised discord didn't block connection from this old client yet

Discord is just really buggy though, that's my only issue with it. Gotta restart it every once in a while because something stops working or a picture is just stuck on screen etc lol.

My biggest problem with the mobile app is that the voice channels / Pohne calls are so bad, the GUI sometimes just doesn't work and Bluetooth didn't seem to work too.

I wonder when theyre gonna fix the bugs that constantly happen when just opening the damn app, like images not sizing correctly, scrolling not working, uploading files and images not working. It seems they havent tried to do anything with the 'sharing from other media screen' either.

well this really sucks for me. sometime between when the new ui release and now, my phone screen got fucked up and now it’s borderline impossible to register any input on the top part of the screen, where the messages button is

It’s even more funny when they haven’t made much changes to the iPad/tablet ver

we're finally getting saturation as an accessibility setting on mobile????? as someone that genuinely needs it because so many servers have brightly colored roles that cause eyestrain this is a lifesaver because desktop has had this setting for ages while mobile hasn't had it at all and it genuinely sucks, i'm glad to see it coming to mobile finally
