Discord Now Works More Seamlessly Across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac

The popular messaging app Discord has been updated with Handoff support, for an improved cross-platform experience across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

General Discord Feature 2
The release notes for the update explain what this means: "If you're in a Discord channel on one device and switch to a different device, you'll now see Discord pop up as a recommended app in the Dock on Mac and iPad, or the App Switcher on iPhone. Open Discord there to jump straight to the channel you had open on your other device."

Handoff support requires version 293.0 of the Discord app, which was released on Monday. The update is available in the App Store.

It’s amazing how developers keep slowly adopting this amazing technology that was announced more than a decade a go.

That said, I stopped using Discord a while ago because of how much data they gather, especially through their apps. Or that’s what I read back in the time. Also, how privacy unfriendly they are, with still no e2ee, or keeping all your communications logged, without the ability to delete your entire history, etc…

I can't stand Discord on my phone. If I have 3 Discord notifications, all for the same chat, I'll click one to see the chat, and the other two notifications are still there. GO AWAY, I'VE SEEN THE ENTIRE CHAT!!!

Discord got Handoff before Apple Music did 🙀

Do you all think we’ll ever see it in AM? And why isn’t it already a thing?

Surprised that it wasn't a thing until now for Discord, but hey, better late than never

I really don't enjoy Discord, but I don't know to stop using it ...

Too many products/communities have made that their "only" on keeping up with support and updates and conversation.
