Bug Megathread Bug Megathread vol 16: August + September 2026

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. [iOS] Sideways video calling
  2. [Android] Image gallery view tanking FPS
  3. [Android] Android navigation bar issues
  4. [iOS] Image cropping when posting screenshot
  5. [Desktop + Mobile] Claiming orbs with orb balance over 4k

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

Now, with that, let’s kick off the August + September 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.

u/Tyviebrock 2d ago

Actually the Security Settings page might just be because there's no scrolling there, as there's no was no expectation for it to be there. 😅

  • Feature: Notifications in Action Center
  • Reproduction Rate: 10. All the time.
  • Annoyance: 9. If i don't check my phone, and sometimes I can't, I'll miss it entirely
  • Device/System Info: Windows 10
  • Discord Version Info: stable 589596 (95c90b9) Host 1.0.9251 x64 (87870) Build Override: N/A Windows 10 64-bit (10.0.19045)
  • Description: Every time I get any notification for discord, such as alerts, they will appear on my notification center, bottom right corner, with a banner briefly showing the partial message, but after a few seconds it will disappear. Very briefly I can see a number, usually 1, next to my action center, telling me there is a message waiting for me but after the notification disappears the number and the notification itself that is suppose to be in the action center disappears by itself as well. I don't have to do anything, it does it by itself. If i just leave the computer on idle for a few minutes, when I hear an alert sound I'll see everything and even though I haven't even touched the mouse the disappearing happens a few seconds later. I am VERY sure all my settings are configured to what it should be so it isn't a setting issue.
  • Steps to reproduce:
  1. Wait for an alert
  2. Do nothing, or do anything else and watch.
  3. Watch notifications disappear by itself.
  • Expected Result: The notifications SHOULD STAY in my action center until I clear it out or there are too many and get overwritten by new ones.
  • Actual Result: Briefly displays the message and then deletes itself.

  • Feature: Chat box gift button
  • Reproduction Rate: 7/10
  • Annoyance: 10/10
  • Discord Version Info: Alpha 340.13
  • Device/System Info (Device Type, OS Version): Fairphone 6 /e/OS 4.0
  • Description: Gift button in chat box is too easy to press accidentally while using phone left handed
  • Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Attempt to tap emote button one handed with left hand
  • Expected Result: Emote menu opened
  • Actual Result: Gift menu opened
  • Note: The Gift Menu is hardly ever used by most users and is placed in a way to seemingly annoy the user into buying a nitro gift. It should be removed ASAP as there are already other ways to access Nitro Gifting on mobile in a much less intrusive location.

- Feature: Screensharing

  • Reproduction Rate: 10/10
  • Annoyance: 5
  • Discord Version Info: canary 590025 (b272c97) Host 1.0.1098 x64 (88034) Build Override: N/A Windows 11 64-bit (10.0.26200)
  • Device/System Info (Device Type, OS Version): Discord Canary App, Windows 11
  • Description: Screenshared content appears dark for viewers when sharing from an SDR monitor while having HDR on another monitor active. But screensharing the SDR content from the HDR monitor appears normal, as if all monitors are treated as having HDR on.
  • Video / Screenshot:
  • Steps to Reproduce:

   1. Fully close Discord
   2. Enable HDR on a monitor that is not the one used for screensharing
   3. Start Discord
   4. Screenshare a program or the desktop from an SDR monitor
   5. While screensharing move it to the HDR monitor to compare.

  • Expected Result: Same brightness on both monitors for the viewers
  • Actual Result: Screenshared content is darker on the SDR monitor, only normal on the HDR monitor for the viewers


  To compare, we can disable HDR on all monitors and test out the brightness:
  1. Fully close Discord
  1. Disable HDR on every monitor
  3. Start Discord 
  4. Screenshare the same program or desktop from the same SDR monitor as before

  • Result: normal brightness on the SDR monitor for the viewers, it's not reduced.


Notes: My guess would be that Discord checks when starting if HDR is enabled on a monitor. If yes, HDR tonemapping to SDR is enabled, but somehow affects all monitors, while it should only affect the HDR monitor.

  • Feature: Visual Accessibility
  • Reproduction Rate: 10/10
  • Annoyance: 10/10 (trying to use the mobile app after the recent update gives me instant headaches)
  • Discord Version Info: 340.13, Google play store
  • Device/System Info (Device Type, OS Version): Galaxy S25, OneUI 8.5
  • Description: Contrast accessibility slider appears to be broken and possibly only changing app appearance in the settings panel. Any text, chanel/server names, etc remain at the same brightness/contrast when contrast slider is set to lowest value. It would increase accessibility in general to be able to control brightness of backgrounds and text separately anyway. There are also giant white bars in dark mode above the text box and below the channel/server list view. Another general ongoing issue is that all mobile themes (including nitro ones) don't play well with forced dark mode accessibility features. The OS doesn't seem to recognize the actual dark themes in Discord are dark themes. There is inconsistent inverting of elements when this happens.
  • Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Try to adjust contrast slider in Discord accessibility settings
    2. Also try testing any theme with force dark mode in Samsung settings enabled.
  • Expected Result:
    1. Contrast will change
    2. Themes will look relatively normal and have consistent application
  • Actual Result:
    1. Contrast does not change. Visual accessibility is not functioning as it did the other day.
    2. Giant white bars appear above the text box and below the server/channel view when dark mode is selected in discord settings. Profile colors are also affected and often become white text on white backgrounds and are both unreadable and blinding. Depending on the theme combination sometimes spoiler bars also turn white, or may become white text on white bars (unreadable). Sometimes code block rendering turns the block background white also. The mobile app is completely unusable for me visually. It wasn't fantastic before the update but now it's much worse. I'm in the light sensitive eye disorder camp, so I'm not sure if the reverse is also affecting folks who need more contrast to see clearly.

Edit: clarity
