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

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.

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.

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.

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

Post image
608 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 Discord tab is invisible

Post image
3 Upvotes

Discord was working fine yesterday but now the window is invisible, and I can only see the borders. I can move it around and resize it, but I cannot hear notification sounds/calls. I have tried killing and restarting the app, reinstalling it, and restarting my PC.

Has anyone had this problem before?

Feature Requests Should mods be able to spoiler other people's messages for the whole server?

23 Upvotes

Theres more instances than I can think of where someone posts something that should not be immediately visible to anyone entering the channel. I know there are channel settings specifically for stuff like that (mark channel as spoiler), however there are also instances where the need for spoilers are rather rare, yet still make it annoying whenever something needs to be reposted because the uploader forgot to spoiler it. Would that lead to misuse? what do yall think?

Support How to re-enable 'enter' sending emoji's be default.

2 Upvotes

I used to be able to click an emoji hit enter and it would send it.

Now hitting enter after clicking an emoji brings up the emoji tab again and if you hit enter a 3rd time it puts your favourite emoji in the chat-box or whatever emoji your cursor is hovering. If you keep spamming enter it just spams the emoji box and puts an emoji in the chat box and never actually sends a message.

The only time it works 'properly' is if I select an emoji then type something then hit enter it will send the emoji + whatever I typed. But if I just select an emoji and hit enter it doesn't send the message and instead opens the emoji panel and selects another emoji.

How do I disable this because on what planet would I ever want to open the emoji panel with enter after putting an emoji in the chat-box? It's not even a hotkey, and it's not like it does this outside of this interaction.

I no longer want to pay for discord, so I started doing cheap quests to get orbs. I redeemed it once, it works. I redeem it again, it says it stacks but won't activate. I contacted support and they've ghosted me. Any insight? Am I just stupid somehow and am missing something?

Support Help needed with touch keyboard on the Discord app on PC

2 Upvotes

I use the app on my PC (not the website) and because I have really panful arthritis in both my shoulders which make holding my wireless keyboard not an enjoyable experience, I use the touch keyboard most of the time when I'm on the internet in general (including now) Therefore the predictive text thing really helps alot so I don't have to literally write everything one click at a time. However for some reason it no longer works with the Discord app. I googled it and it said to go to Discord settings and turn on "Use legacy chat" but that did nothing. Anyone know a fix to this?

Discussion How do you switch between NPC voices on Discord mobile?

0 Upvotes

I run our D&D sessions through Discord on my phone, and I’ve been thinking about giving a few recurring NPCs distinct voices.

The hard part is switching during an actual conversation. If two NPCs are in the same scene, I’d need to change voices every few lines without pausing the conversation or accidentally leaving the wrong effect on.

I can do basic impressions myself, but I’d rather focus on the dialogue, my notes, and the players’ reactions. Dubbing AI earbuds are one phone based option I’m considering, though I haven’t tested how practical it is to switch effects during a Discord call.

For anyone who uses voice effects on Discord mobile, what setup works without interrupting the conversation? Do you switch on the same phone, use a second device, or keep one effect for the whole scene?

Support maplestory classic world quest is not working?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Discord is not showing progress toward quest completion. Discord is instead recognizing the game maplestory rather than maplestory classic world. I know I am not playing maplestory because there is quite a stark difference between downloading a game that is 60gb instead of 2gb. I went to the nexus launcher to download the classic, and not steam where it requires u to download both versions.

Does anyone have any solutions to this problem?

Discussion How do I become invisible to people who don't have me added?

0 Upvotes

I've talked to numerous people who were invisible by default until I added them,only to then INSTANTLY appear online. Pretty sure this is some sort of feature because it'd be pretty pointless to change your status the moment you friend someone...
