New Mobile UI's Problems

fleuriefae

Most of the mobile updates to Discord have been fine for me, because they are so minor. But as someone with major OCD and ADHD, it is a struggle to navigate and even orient myself with this new UI, and I know many other people who are struggling with this too. 

Having space where we can see the adjacent tiles is distracting and difficult to ignore, and doing an entire 180 with how we use the various navigation tools and putting them all in a bottom bar is awkward and minimizes our ability to see the full screen. It makes the entire app feel like it's getting cut off by this bar. 

Some people might like this update, but there are many users who don't. Please consider at least giving us an option to go back to the old UI.

    I completely agree with you, the mobile UI changes should at least be an optional thing, heck even custom. I am a bit confused on why there is a UI change every single update.

    This here! As someone with the same disorders, I'm having the same problem, and I'm sure it's the same for a lot of others. I'm avoiding the mobile version when I can because I just can't deal with it, but I liked mobile because of its convenience...

    I also agree.

    Whilst I do not have anything like OCD, I also as the new UI has completely messed with how I use the app. The new change has messed with the way I contact my friends as I now struggle to message them on time due to the drastic change involved in me finding them in dm's. It has also stopped me from being able to multitask on my phone as I cannot use split screen with discord anymore thanks to the new UI. This is making having social and educational lifes coincide very hard and I see this change as unneeded.

    I agree wholeheartedly. I've gone and started a hashtag #NotMyPlaceToTalk that protests the v20.4 "Tabs" UI. Feel free to use the hashtag to put your two cents in and talk about your Discord app struggles. https://mobile.twitter.com/ItsSpelledHALEY/status/1278307838754844673
