Discord Update: June 30, 2025 Changelog (opens in new tab)

Discord’s latest updates focus on enhancing user expression and streamlining platform navigation through a series of identity-driven features and technical refinements. By introducing Server Tags and expanding profile customization options, the platform aims to deepen community connections while simultaneously optimizing back-end processes like image compression and search algorithms. These changes reflect an ongoing effort to balance aesthetic personalization with functional performance for both individual users and server administrators.

Server Tags and Community Visibility

• Users can now display Server Tags next to their names to represent specific communities or favorite games.
• These tags are interactive, allowing others to click them to learn about the server or apply for membership directly from the tag.
• Server administrators can unlock this feature for their community once the server reaches three Boosts.

Profile Customization and Asset Management

• The desktop client now saves the last six used avatars in Profile Settings, enabling users to swap back to previous images without re-uploading files.
• Nitro members gain extended access to Quest-earned Avatar Decorations, allowing them to keep these rewards beyond the standard two-month expiration period.
• New Nameplate designs have been added to the Shop on the desktop app to further customize user presence in chat lists.

Integrated Activities and Syntax Enhancements

• The New York Times Games’ Wordle is now available as a Discord Activity, accessible by typing the /wordle command in any text channel.
• Players can use the /share command to distribute their results across different channels or direct messages.
• New Markdown support for email addresses allows users to wrap an address in brackets (e.g., <email@address.com>) to create a clickable link that opens a mail client automatically.

Performance and Infrastructure Optimizations

• The Quick Switcher tool received an algorithmic upgrade to improve the accuracy of channel and DM suggestions based on user behavior.
• Mobile image embeds have been improved through a change in how the mobile application handles image compression, resulting in higher-quality renders.
• The updated mobile image pipeline also reduces the time required for uploading and rendering images on handheld devices.

Advanced Server Boosting Features

• Beyond Server Tags, communities with sufficient boosts can now access Enhanced Role Styles, which add glowing gradients to specific server roles.
• These aesthetic upgrades are designed to provide more visual hierarchy and flair to server member lists.

To make the most of these updates, server owners should coordinate community boosts to unlock the new Role Styles and Server Tags, while power users should adopt the Quick Switcher and new Markdown syntax to increase their communication efficiency.
