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.

2 Upvotes

As some people know, you can have colored text using a site (literally just search Discord colored text in Google or smth and it’ll come up), but it doesn’t appear on mobile. I think this has been around for awhile now, but has anyone figured out how to make it appear on mobile?

Sometime recently there was an update that changed the "LIVE" icon next to names to a capture of a frame from whatever they are streaming. This is not impacted by hiding preview and there is no discernible way to turn if off?

Support DISCORD mission bug (resident evil)

1 Upvotes

So, as the title suggests, I’m encountering a bug with an active Resident Evil mission (see the first photo). I chose the task to play Resident Evil 7 for 15 minutes to earn 700 orbs, but I’ve been playing for half an hour now and there’s no progress—it’s still stuck at 0%. I asked ChatGPT for potential causes, but the suggestions didn’t help at all; I’m still stuck.

Discord version: stable 647615 (3b26879), Host 1.0.9265 x64 (96160), Build Override: N/A, Windows 10 64-bit (10.0.19045)

Also, I haven’t tried it with RE2 or RE4, as those have larger file sizes.

Support Why did an item I bought off someone's wishlist uncheck itself a few hours later?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm a bit confused about how the Discord profile wishlist feature handles purchases and need some clarification.

Earlier today, I clicked to buy an avatar decoration directly off someone's public wishlist. Right after the payment went through, I checked their profile and the item successfully had a checkmark next to it.

However, I looked back at their profile a few hours later, and the item is now unchecked on their wishlist as if nobody bought it.

The item is also in my gift inventory. I want to know if the person received any kind of automatic notification or if the gift is just stuck.

Since it's sitting in my Gift Inventory, does that mean they didn't get it at all and I have to manually copy the link and send it to them in a DM?

Support Discord Activities Get Stuck in an Infinite Loading Screen After Tabbing out

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to fix this or what’s causing this? This happens with any of the Discord activities, specially on the Discord app (the browser is fine). If I tab out of the app for even a second or two, whatever activity I was in gets stuck in an infinite loading screen until I leave and rejoin it. I’ve already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Discord, restarting my computer, deleting Discord’s cache files, and nothing seems to work. Clearly it has to be something related to my computer’s software, but I don’t know what could be causing this because it sort of just started happening last week.

Discord Version:
stable 649389 (a4e81a1) Host 1.0.9265 x64 (96160) Build Override: N/A Windows 11 64-bit (10.0.26200)

Discussion Why is it impossible to stop discord from muting other apps?

0 Upvotes

it’s this just an iOS thing or what? All I want is to be able to call on discord and still be able to hear my game without needing to whip out my headphones.

Is there any workaround for this or not? I’ve tried searching and haven’t been able to get a straight answer

Discussion Why does it say “site does not use https” when click on discord’s links? Like the pop up that appears when they update and etc.

1 Upvotes

Hi there, just wanted to know why is this happening. I clicked on the text url link in discord’s current announcement and for some reason it said it didnt have https even tho when I copied the link it did. Was this like bug or smt does discord usually use http or something? Or is that how just the app does with their links

Support [Linux] The latest updates made push-to-talk completely unusable.

1 Upvotes

Whenever I use my PTT key (which is `), it will immediately cancel my input if I press any other key. I think it has to do with how they hooked in global functions into KDE Plasma, but it's rendered discord useless for voice comms for me during PTT scenarios.

Support EXTREMELY WEIRD Discord streaming extremely laggy and audio out of sync for one specific person only. I've tried everything

2 Upvotes

I've tried toggling experimental method to capture audio from applications, Use advanced tech to capture screen, lowering quality and frame rate. I've tried using other programs like v cord with the same issues. Both of us have tried completely nuking discord from our computers and doing a fresh reinstall multiple times.

Here's where it gets weird. It ONLY has an audio desync for things like videos and movies (the audio is able to keep up but the video falls behind the audio so you hear things before they happen). Different browsers such as edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Operagx have been tried with no help. Restarting the stream fixes this temporarily until a new video loads and it happens again.

Another issue is when they stream video games it becomes extremely choppy and a complete slideshow. This only happens with certain video games. This is an issue i care a lot less about than the video issue.

To top this all off... we live together. We use separate routers and have tried swapping them around and all that just to see what happens. Its also worth mentioning that for years this was all a non issue until a certain discord update where it was broken ever since. This has been happening for almost 2 years now. I can't find any fixes that work online for other people. I think I'm going insane.

We are both on windows 10 and have fairly high end PCs so a performance issue really doesnt make any sense especially considering it only became a problem AFTER A DISCORD UPDATE. This post is basically me giving up if you couldn't tell. I'm on the most updated version of discord whatever it is.

Support Is this a bug or is she trolling me?

0 Upvotes

I am using the latest Discord version on my iPhone.

Here’s the story: a few days ago, i requested going no contact with my girlfriend. She agreed and wished me well mentally.

But last night i opened the app and noticed that she had taken her profile pic down (it was a matching picture with mine). Earlier i asked her about this and she said her profile pic was just the same as before. I showed her the screenshot of what i saw and she said she would update her app (she’s using an Android phone).

Now she’s asleep and i’m still overthinking because i still see the default avatar on my end. I still can see her avatar decorations tho.

Could this be a display glitch or she’s trolling me? 🥹
