I absolutely hate the new layout personally. They have added a new good things. But I think we all have got so used to the old one that this is all way too overwhelming.
Definitely agree, there's some good things like the new folder system and being able to reply to messages by just swiping, but I do think we're so used to the current layout that this is a t-shirt big change (and some of it feels like unnecessary change just for the sake of change)
I thought these changes were new, but finding out they've existed for the past 5 months disgusts me. To me, it's awful how it works, look, and feels. Im hoping we can get a way to undo the new layout changes because I don't like the new look
Ikr? They had 5 months + tons of feedback but just pushed it through anyways. This update really feels like a case of "change just for the sake of change". Nothing needed to be changed. Like, I like the look that they were going for with the new aesthetic. But the actual navigation and practicality of it is just awful. I still haven't got it on my phone yet, and I'm kind of glad LOL.
The only thing I dislike really is the channels in a server taking up the whole page when you click on it. I'm totally chill with the friends, messages, and servers etc being at the bottom of the screen the way they are in the update though. Basically everything else is pretty alright.
I think that's my biggest gripe as well is having it be completely full screen and nothing else there. I like the idea of fixing the server layout instead of them just being a long list on the left bar like it is currently, but I'm not a fan of the floating bar at the bottom. Idk why but it just feels out of place
I still haven't got it yet 🙏 Will definitely be doing an update video once I get it. If there's any bright side, it looks like they've fixed a few things that I strongly disliked like the swipe right to go to the channel listings. But it seems like a lot of it is just change for the sake of change..
@@Gehstureyou can swipe left from DM list to go to servers, you can't swipe left or right to go from servers to DMs. I'm seriously considering uninstalling the mobile app rn but I kinda need it because I moderate a server. Whatever feud I may have with every other change they made (and I can give a list of at least 5-7 issues of the top of my head), the complete division of DMs and servers is a complete and utter sh... to me. What was so bad in having a DC icon over server icons, and user profiles in the same list when someone messaged you? Now when I'm in the DMs I can't see which server a ping came from, and when in the server list, I can't see who is messaging me in the DMs. I'd really rather not use DC at all than have to fight with that... The only upside is the search/filter function, it's much better so far. Please @Discord just give us an option to switch to the old layout 😭
Very true. However, app developers can make it to where the app is unusable without updating. Basically every time you open the app, you'll get a pop-up to update, and if you click no, the app will just close. Hopefully it won't ever come to that with discord!
Hello there! So me and two of my friends decided to create a discord server and we aren't sure how the roles work exactly and if u have a video on that i would very much like to get the link to it if possible please and thank u!
I really apologize for the wait! honestly, at this point im really waiting to see what discord does with this new UI. My luck, I will post the video and 2 weeks later they will force rollout this new UI and the whole video will be invalid 😅
Thanks for telling us about it tbh. The new update looks ass Fr Fr.. like the emojis and everything just looks so messy and unaesthetic. I am definitely not going to use this.
Yea I reallyyy hope they go back to the drawing board on this one haha. There's some nice things like replying by swiping and server folders being reworked, but most of it just feels like completely unnecessary changes
People don't understand that the previous layout was just a smushed down version of the web/tablet version. I guess all of you liked everything being absolutely cramped on a 6.1 inch phone screen.
I have a full video coming out on this today. I do feel like some are overreacting a bit, but at the same time I will say the new UI definitely feels a bit buggy in some regards, and ultimately if they just waited to polish this a bit more, it wouldn't have caused this much outrage from users.
