Discord, the widely known chat app, has finally updated its mobile layout on iOS and Android. This is a guide to unlocking Discord's new mobile layout on your smartphone.

Debuting in 2015, Discord quickly became the Internet's go-to spot for diverse content, boasting servers for just about every topic imaginable.

However, the visual style remained consistent until Discord announced a new mobile layout in February 2023. This has led to speculation about when it will be made available to the general public outside of the initial testing group.

Good news? There's no need to wait for the official rollout. The hidden new layout is accessible to anyone who knows where to look in Discord's extensive settings.
