What's New in Discord
259.1
December 18, 2024
We’ve been hard at work making Discord better for you. This includes bug fixes and performance enhancements. For more detailed information, go to your profile in the app and scroll down to “What’s New”.
I would love if on the app we could choose a different notification tone, either from a variety of different sounds or from the tones I already have on my phone. It’s not enough to hear the classic discord noise from my phone, I think it works for pc but as a phone sound it’s not noticeable enough and if I could make it something more peppy or something that actually disrupts what I’m doing so that I go “Oh what’s that?” It would make it easier to keep in touch with people. Discord has become my main messaging app now, (rip fb messenger) so it’s becoming increasingly annoying for me when the gentle bloop of a message comes through because it just goes in one ear and out the other. Let me make it as annoying as I need! Also if different notifications could be used for different servers that would be great, so that the ones i don’t need to check right away can stay calm and soothing and the ones i do need to check urgently can scare the alights out of me and make me check it right away. Thanks if you read this and take this into consideration. Love the app! xx
