Discord Update: November 18, 2024 Changelog (opens in new tab)

Discord’s November 2024 update introduces a major cosmetic collaboration with the series Arcane alongside several practical tools designed to simplify content sharing and profile management. These changes emphasize a more integrated media experience, allowing users to interact with external content and their own gaming data more fluidly within the app.

Arcane Collaboration and Shop Items

• A limited-edition Arcane collection has been added to the Shop to mark the show's final season.
• New Avatar Decorations and Profile Effects feature characters such as Jinx, Vi, and Ekko, as well as themed weapons and technology.
• The collection is a temporary release available for users to customize their visual presence across servers.

Streamlined Sharing and Media Integration

• A native "Forward" button has been introduced, allowing users to share messages directly to other conversations without needing to take and store manual screenshots.
• TikTok embeds can now be played directly within the desktop client, eliminating the need to open an external browser or application.
• The emoji reaction picker now suggests a user’s top three most-used emojis to facilitate faster communication.

Profile Features and Social Activities

• Desktop profiles now display a list of recently played games to friends and community members.
• New privacy controls allow users to manually clear specific games from their play history if they do not want them visible.
• "Quiz Planet" has been added to the Activity Directory, providing a new trivia-based interactive experience for users in voice channels.

Mobile Performance and Multitasking

• The mobile application has received optimizations for fluid resizing, specifically targeting users who utilize split-screen or multitasking modes on phones and tablets.
• General performance patches have been implemented to improve the stability of the interface when switching between Discord and other resource-heavy apps.

To maintain privacy, users should review their new gaming history section on desktop and clear any entries they prefer not to share. Additionally, users interested in the Arcane cosmetics should visit the Shop soon, as the collection is designated as a final celebration for the series.
