New Mobile Attachment

The new attachement method on mobile is completely unnecessary. There was already a camera option that i have literally never even heard of anyone using? And the new setup makes more buttons to press. Last i checked, most apps try to reduce button presses needed for an action but this adds one? I genuinely don't understand where the idea for this came from. Not to mention it makes it appear like images are the only attachments that can be added now, which could be extremely confusing to new users or people who dont think to check what blantantly looks like an image attachment button. To give some context as to WHY this is such a problem: I'm almost exclusively in discord servers that relate to art in some way, and usually any attachments I send are photos of my artwork. I have unsteady hands which makes taking photos very hard, and I usually have to take multiple to get one that isnt too blurry, so using the in-app camera is not a viable option for me because of that. Even if it was, it still adds an extra unnecessary step to adding any form of attachment. There are plently of others who have mentioned the other parts of the update that are bad, so I'll leave that to them, but this particular part of the update is the biggest issue I have and I felt was not touched upon enough by anyone else.

I completely agree. I wish I haven't updated the app

Yes, I agree! If I want to take a photo, I will almost certainly always use the built-in camera app, and then send the file as an attachment. I have never sent a photo directly through the camera on Discord.
