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.
