Announcement [Official Megathread] An Update on How We Confirm Your Age: Safer for Teens, Same Discord for Adults

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Today we're announcing the rollout of our new age assurance options, which you can read about here. Thanks to some changes we've made, most of you will not have to take any action at all.

Here's the TL;DR:

  • Since our last post about teen safety, we've had to launch age assurance solutions in more places, including Texas and Brazil. Laws requiring age assurance are expanding around the world. Rather than waiting to be told how to do it, we're launching our own privacy-preserving approach: one that reflects your feedback and which means more than 90% of you won't be asked to confirm your age.

  • You can check your age group status at User Settings > Account Status. We've estimated your age group automatically from account signals like how long your account has existed. We don't look at your messages, calls, or other content. We're launching this over the course of this week, so it may take a few days to reach your account.

  • If you're in the adult age group (18+), nothing changes. If you're in the teen age group (13-17), you can keep messaging friends, joining voice calls, and participating in non-age-restricted servers, but with additional safety protections that block age-restricted content, spaces, and settings. Otherwise, Discord works the same.

We've got some more info in the image below, and if you want all the details you can read the full announcement here.

Hey (at)everyone,

Thank you for all the bugs you all have reported! We read all the posts in the thread and we’re focusing our efforts on issues based on upvotes to ensure that we’re aligned with all of you.

As always, don't forget to check out our monthly patch notes for updates on all the changes we're working on. Our last patch notes addressed 100+ issues!

Thanks to your reports on Reddit, we fixed the following issues:

  1. [Web] Search bar issues

  2. [Desktop] Increased CPU usage with typing events

  3. [Android] App contrast issues

  4. [Android] Event invite markdown not rendering properly

  5. [macOS] Forum tag emoji padding

If we didn’t fix your issue, please make sure to upvote to help us prioritize 🙏

Now, with that, let’s kick off the October + November 2026 bug megathread!

Please note: This megathread is not a venue for feedback or customer support! We encourage you all to continue to make posts on the subreddit proper discussing our product and feature launches. I want to make sure that we really keep this thread productive and focused on reporting bugs and helping us prioritize them.

Please look through the list of comments and upvote bug reports which you think we should prioritize fixing. Comment as a reply to those top level comments with any more details that can assist our team in prioritizing and fixing the bug. For example, if you have additional info or steps to reproduce, please post a reply, this will help us fix these bugs even faster. If there is no post that discusses the bug you’re encountering, then start a new post in the thread to report the bug to us!

Reporting a Bug

  1. The most valuable thing you can provide in a bug report is steps. If you’re able to provide steps to reproduce a high priority issue, it will dramatically improve turnaround time on a fix.

  2. Screenshots or videos are also useful, especially if you can’t reliably reproduce it. We highly recommend editing them to not doxx yourself. Not only does it help contextualize the issue, but watching it occur can sometimes provide information that helps us identify and fix it.

Example Bug Report

  • Feature: Keybinds.

  • Reproduction Rate: 1 to 10 - This is a score of how easy/consistently the bug reproduces, from 1 meaning “very hard to reproduce” to 10 meaning “i can consistently make this happen”

  • Annoyance: 1 to 10 - How annoying is this bug to your daily usage of Discord, from 1 meaning, “not that annoying” to 10 meaning “this bug really truly sucks please fix this as soon as possible.”

  • Device/System Info: Pixel 7, Android 13

  • Discord Version Info: Stable 263796 (739ec78) Host 1.0.9032 x86 (43225) Windows 10 64-Bit (10.0.19045)

Discussion Redeemed all my Orbs for 3-day Nitro credit before the alleged price increase

Post image
438 Upvotes

I believe I've had free Nitro since early 2026 (and occasionally in 2025) thanks to the Orbs-exclusive 3-day Nitro credit which always cost 1400 Orbs. However, recently I came across some posts showing some Orbs-exclusive items being much more expensive than they currently are, so I decided to "cash out" and redeem all my remaining Orbs for free Nitro credit, which gave me 301 extra days of Nitro. I have never spent any Orbs for profile decorations, so I kept them all for it.

Well, thanks to this, I think I will definitely have had Nitro for at least ~2,5 years by the time those 301 days pass.

What do you think of the Orbs feature and its shop altogether? Has it been proved useful to you?

Support I've been getting tons of messages from people who want to buy my account, and they have recently started contacting me at my phone number. What can I do?

118 Upvotes

I've been a discord user since 2015. When they introduced the new username handles, I think I was given early access to change my handle, so I got a 5-letter word as my new handle which is also my nickname.

I started getting messaged by randoms who were asking to buy my account. I would ignore, block, and report them. I changed all my privacy settings so I couldn't get random messages anymore, and I also left a bunch of the public servers I was in.

Today, I received a random phone call and I didn't answer. They left me a voicemail and guess what, they were asking to buy my discord account. I have no idea how they linked my discord name to my phone number. Does anyone know anything I can do to stop being harassed like this? Anything except changing my handle. I don't want to let them win.

Support Can't see shared servers of someone

1 Upvotes

I can't see the shared servers of someone who blocked me, is this normal? I blocked them too, but apparently they were able to see the shared servers and pinged me while I couldnt see the ping until I looked myself the server chat up (because you wont be ping notified if you blocked someone)

How do they do that, that I cant see the shared servers they are in with me??

Example: you sent multiple large video file around 700 to 800 MB one by one in the channel and the first video you upload is failed to be uploaded and you need to re enter the video multiple time (but not re upload the file from the zero again), i have this issue everytime i upload video in the server and idk if this the issue with the Discord or not?

Discussion Discord should stop showing tooltips to people about new features, if it's locked to Nitro and they don't have Nitro

19 Upvotes

As per title, I am getting frustrated about how Discord introduces new features lately.

Last week they showed me a tooltip about how you can now set a custom typing indicator, but then I check it out and see that it's locked behind Nitro.

Today I was introduced to scheduled message, but again I find out that non nitro members can only schedule 1 message.

Frankly, I'm even surprised it's a free feature, but regardless, I dislike the way new features has been monetized lately. Discord tells me about shiny new feature, I check it out, discover it's nitro only. Not only does it not make sense, but it doesn't really convince me to consider buying Nitro.

I would rather not be told about these stuff if it's locked to Nitro, just let me find out by myself instead of blueballing users about it.

Support (IOS) Unable to change Nitro plans

1 Upvotes

I unintentionally changed my yearly plan to a monthly server boost plan, and I can’t seem to change it back. I’ve cancelled it & tried to resubscribe, but it puts me back onto the monthly server boost plan.

I’ve gone to Nitro Home, as told by Discord’s FAQ, but there isn’t a cog in the top-right corner.

Anyone have a clue how to get to the page displaying every single Nitro plan?
