The recent Discord update has added a few neat little features:

  • User Status: Now you can change your status to Do Not Disturb (red colored dot), Idle (orange) or Invisible.Discord User Status To change your user status, click on your profile picture in the lower left-hand corner of Discord. Your user status will be seen across all Discord servers you are in.
  • Custom Emojis ?: Spice up your server by uploading custom emoticons. You can add up to 50 custom emojis that anyone will be able to use on your specific server. To upload a custom emoji, click on your server name in the top left-hand corner and head to Server Settings. Click the Emoji tab.

Other changes include the ability to delete 

Pinned Messages.

 The @

Mention Autocomplete

 will now show users who recently sent a message first. Mobile users will now see

 Offline Lists

 for up to 100 people, just like the desktop app. Other improvements for mobile users include the ability to Accept/Ignore any friend suggestions and a newly redesigned 

Server Settings

section. Lets talk about some buffs within this update. From now on the London, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam servers have been renamed simply to 

Western and Central Europe

and the capacity of servers in nearly every region is now

doubled

to support more traffic. Also

opening the DM Tab

is now faster, which benefits users with a lot of open DMs. These are the main changes on Discord, but you can see a full detailed list of changes in the

Discord Blog

. They are still working on a Search system so you can find what you were looking for in the chat.
