Here are the Discord updates from February 20th, 2023. You can also find the most recent updates in the Discord app under Settings > What's New.

Seen a strange new label next to your friends’ names lately? 

They’re called Server Tags! Rep your chaotic friend space, your favorite game’s official Discord, or communities of any size, directly next to your name. Others can click it to learn about the server you’re repping, and if allowed by server mods, prospective members can join (or apply to join) directly from your Server Tag!

If you’re in a server that has Server Tags enabled, you can set a Tag in Profile Settings. If you don’t see one for the server you wanna showcase, ask the server’s admins and see if they’ll set one up, or consider Boosting their server! Three Boosts is all it takes to help admins unlock Server Tags for the entire community.

S-A-V-E-D Avatars & Guessing G-A-M-E-S

• On desktop, the last six avatars you used are saved in Profile Settings. If you like shuffling through many avatars, or you used a weird pic of your buddy Drew mid-sneeze as a joke, you can quickly swap back to a previous avatar so you’re not stuck with Sneezing Drew.
• Here’s the S-C-O-O-P: Wordle’s on Discord. Type `/wordle` in any chat to play Wordle from New York Times Games as a Discord Activity. Watch your friends try and guess today’s word, then, `/share` your results in other channels or DMs to see how many friends take a S-W-I-N-G at it. 

QUICK! Let’s Switch to Fixes… 

• In April, we upgraded the Quick Switcher, making it more likely to show the channel or DM you’re actually trying to get to. If you don’t use Quick Switcher and love talking in LOTS of servers, try it out sometime! You’ll start getting to convos faster than you can think of their #channel-names. 
• In May, we added Markdown syntax for email addresses. Putting an email between brackets <Like This> will let others quickly send an email by just clicking on it. If you’re still one of those “email” users… you *do* know Discord’s right here, right? 
• In June, mobile image embeds received a nice quality bump by changing how our mobile app handles image compression. Embeds made from lower-quality images will look MUCH better, and all images from mobile will upload and render a little bit faster. 

Upgrade Your Community and Your Profile

• Put your extra Server Boosts to work by using them to unlock new features! Along with Server Tags mentioned at the beginning, Enhanced Role Styles will help give your server’s roles glowing gradients. Ooooh, shiiiiny. 
• Keep your pile of Quest Avatar Decorations longer. Nitro members can use many of the past (and upcoming) Quest-earned Avatar Decorations looong after their two-month time limit, letting you always show off that being a Shadow the Hedgehog fan wasn’t just a phase. 
• Even MORE Nameplates arrived in the Shop, so hop on the desktop app and check 'em out! We’re gonna need a bigger cabinet with how many Nameplates we’ve got stacked! HAHAH!! Get it… plates… you stack them… nameplates… siigh… 

Speaking of stacks, our Engineering team shares a huge stack of fixes and improvements they’ve made to Discord on a monthly basis. You’ll always find ‘em at dis.gd/PatchNotes.
