Discord Patch Notes: November 4, 2025 (opens in new tab)
Discord’s November 4, 2025 patch focuses on faster startup and calls, more reliable streaming, improved notification processing, and a broad set of platform-specific fixes. Audio devices now initialize during call connection, reducing connection times by roughly 5–15%, while asset-fetch retries have reduced startup failures by about 80%. The release also improves Roblox streaming, iOS notification emojis, accessibility, navigation, and chat rendering. ## Performance and Reliability - Roblox streams on PC should no longer appear as blank or white frames, thanks to a more reliable capture pipeline. - Audio devices such as microphones now start while a call is connecting rather than afterward. - Notification targeting is up to five times faster, improving notification availability. - Asset-loading retries have significantly reduced startup failures that previously required closing and relaunching Discord. ## General Improvements - Desktop Quick Switcher returns more results when searching without a type filter. - Server administrators can now apply age restrictions to servers. - Discord fixed incorrect content-type headers for text attachments, including subtitle files. - Apple Maps link embeds work again. - Overlay dismissal correctly returns focus to the game. - Passkey prompts no longer appear when a passkey is already enabled. - Numerous layout, localization, tooltip, profile-editing, status, badge, and scrolling issues were corrected across desktop and mobile. ## Mobile and Platform Fixes - Custom emojis now render in iOS notifications. - Android fixes address unwanted vibration in Appearance settings, swipe navigation, role-management state resets, server-list rendering, chat loading, and bottom-navigation text truncation. - iOS fixes improve emoji-picker navigation, event controls, username rendering, server-join text, and message editing. - Desktop fixes include muted badge colors, profile-preview overlap, status resets, profile-editor blank screens, and localized button tooltips. ## Chat and Messaging - Fixed message spacing, forwarding layouts, reply-preview emoji overlap, and text-input positioning on iOS and desktop. - Android chat should no longer display a gray screen. - Forum-channel links and Markdown previews now render correctly. - Dark-mode forum previews no longer display links and mentions in black. - Spoilers render interactively and consistently, including inside code blocks. - Fixed potential crashes and visual issues when reacting to messages on iOS. - Desktop channel notification menus now display all available options. The patch is primarily a reliability and polish release, with the largest user-facing benefits coming from faster call connections, fewer startup failures, and more dependable streaming. Fixes may continue rolling out across platforms after publication.
