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 a bug of your own, check out our Bimonthly Bug Megathread on the community-ran 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

• Foldable users, we heard you and we have good news: we’ve invested heavily in foldable device support recently! You should notice dramatic improvements in how Discord functions on your foldable device. We’ve also invested in future-proofing our code base so foldables should “just work” moving forward, rather than requiring bespoke support. Please report issues you find on these devices via the /r/discordapp subreddit Megathread or a Support ticket. 
• Discord now has better multitasking/Sidecar/side-by-side app view support. Changing the dimensions of the mobile application should intelligently swap between different ways of viewing our app, giving you far more flexibility in these scenarios. We hope you love the quality of life improvements here for multitasking.
• You’re now able to set a keybind to toggle screen sharing on macOS 15+. Previously, this was only a Windows feature. You can set a keybind for “Toggle Screen Share” in User Settings > Keybinds.
• We’re looking everywhere for performance improvements at Discord, so we recently took some time to improve the performance of Discord.com! We shipped a suite of changes that reduced page load time for users by up to 4 seconds on average, as well as improving other core vitals. The website should feel significantly more responsive now.

• The mobile authorization UI for apps now properly utilizes the whole screen for rendering.
