Discord Patch Notes: May 4, 2026 (opens in new tab)

Discord’s May 4, 2026 patch focuses on reliability, performance, usability, and server administration. Major improvements include nearly 5% faster Android video startup, reorganized desktop settings, faster Soundboard access, and self-updating Linux support. The release also fixes numerous bugs across account profiles, search, payments, moderation, notifications, and mobile platforms. ## Performance and Platform Improvements - Android video startup improved by 4.89%, bringing average feed startup time below 600 milliseconds. - Soundboard data now loads when users join a voice channel rather than when they first open the Soundboard, reducing initial access time. - Linux now uses Discord’s Rust-based automatic updater, eliminating the need for manual update installation. - Linux installation now supports `.rpm` and `.pkg.tar.zst` packages. ## Server Administration and Moderation - Discord fixed several issues affecting server administrators and moderators. - Fixes covered permissions, user states, and interactions with account-safety systems. - Discord encouraged administrators to report remaining problems through its community bug megathread. ## Desktop Settings and Organization - Desktop settings were consolidated into three pages: - Appearance - Accessibility - Developer - The former Appearance, Accessibility, Chat, Streamer Mode, and Advanced sections were reorganized. - Several settings received clearer wording and improved layouts. - Fixed problems involving theme synchronization, profile editing, unsaved-change warnings, currency labels, and server administration prompts. ## General User Interface Fixes - “GODLIKE!!” and “BEYOND GODLIKE!!” copy-username messages now have opaque backgrounds. - The Quick Switcher can now accept invite links, join the associated server, and navigate to it. - Fixed display problems involving long nicknames, search filters, avatar controls, profile links, status indicators, and Nitro badges. - French users can now search for “sondage” without the search term being incorrectly split. - Android search filters now correctly display their active blue state. - Fixed several modal, button-spacing, and navigation issues across desktop and mobile. ## Profiles, Avatars, and Customization - Per-server avatar links now copy correctly instead of copying the main profile avatar link. - Clearing per-server pronouns no longer repopulates them from the main profile; the main pronouns appear only as a placeholder. - iOS no longer switches unexpectedly to a per-server profile after copying a username. - Recent-avatar delete controls now appear correctly. - Custom Status editing opens above the full profile instead of replacing it. - Fixed an issue where clicking outside profile editing discarded changes without warning. ## Notifications, Search, and Media - Desktop Inbox no longer crashes when many notifications are cleared rapidly. - Mobile search tabs for Media, Pins, Files, and Links no longer spam errors or retry repeatedly after a connection loss. - Expired public image links in the Inbox preview now behave more reliably. - Fixed an issue where long mobile search-result nicknames obscured timestamps. ## Payments and Server Boosting - Server Boost marketing audio now stops when users enter the purchase flow. - Pressing Escape during payment no longer closes the underlying Server Boost page instead of the payment window. - Nitro trial recipient checkboxes now select friends correctly. - Fixed overlapping controls in Profile Settings and spacing issues on the domain-connection page. - GBP subscription settings now show the currency’s full name. Discord’s changes combine small interface corrections with measurable performance and platform improvements. Users should receive the fixes progressively, since deployment may still be rolling out across platforms.

Discord’s March 6, 2026 patch focuses on safer mentions, faster desktop startup, accessibility, and a broad collection of platform-specific bug fixes. Escaped `@everyone` and `@here` mentions are now correctly ignored by the backend, preventing accidental mass notifications.

Discord recommends trying the iOS TestFlight build for early features and reporting remaining bugs through the community bug megathread. Fixes had been merged but could still be rolling out gradually across platforms.
