Discord Patch Notes: August 4, 2026

Welcome to Patch Notes! In this series, we comb through the newest changes in performance, reliability, responsiveness, usability, and general bug-squishing we’ve done to make Discord better. 

If you discover an issue of your own, check out our Bimonthly Bug Megathread on the community-run r/DiscordApp subreddit. Tell us what’s been bothering you, and our Engineering team will be more than happy to check it out. 

All fixes listed below have been committed and merged, but may still be rolling out to individual platforms at the time of this post. 

Highlights

• We've shipped another portion of our User Settings redesign: 
  
  • Activity is now Games & Apps
  • Content & Social is now Messaging Permissions
  • Related settings, such as Authorized Apps/Connections and OS-specific pages/keybinds, have been consolidated for clarity. 
  • We've made language and style updates across several settings pages, including Data & Privacy and Activity Privacy.
• We upgraded our Desktop client to using Electron 42, which aside from general maintenance best practices on our end, yielded some incremental improvements to CPU usage of our app.
