    Was I the only one that didn’t like having personal chats in the same place as servers?

    This seems like a huge UI improvement tbh, and I’ve been using Discord for years on mobile and desktop.

        They essentially took notifications/settings from the bottom corner and the personal chat section and just made a four panel bottom menu with individual icons for each. They’re simple in aesthetic but fairly clear, in my opinion.

        So it goes as follows.

        Servers -> Private Chat -> Notifications -> Settings/Account

        Otherwise it’s the same as far as I can tell, really. I can still swipe to go back in servers, etc.

          Don’t forget that the “back” behavior in “forum” channels actually goes back to the forum now, instead of opening the channel list!

          Fixed a major PITA.

      It’s a departure from the desktop UI and it made the whole thing much clunkier.

      I will be fair, moving the button to the bottom row is more convenient if you have a lot of servers to scroll up through and use the DMs a lot, I don’t care about that as much.
      What I do care about is how the rest of it changed. Can’t just quickly swipe into the DM list and back any more, if you exit the DM that’s it, you gotta click on it again. Switching between DMs and servers is more clunky, a bunch of UI I was actively using is broken up. They broke the search function, and the new way to check channel participants (click on the title) is uncomfortable as hell compared to old “just swipe to the right”.

      Personally I hate the new UX even if some bits are an improvement. It’s just too much stuff to change all at once and not for the better.

      I just hate that I can’t swipe to easily to get to servers from messages anymore. You still can but it takes a second to load now after swiping and it’s not as consistent to get it to do it.

      Edit: Also removing the member list for a server being on the right when you swipe is annoying too.

      yeah much easier to reach.
      the new ui is buggy but that’s obviously not intentional

      I used the beta UI for a while and imo the new one is worse since it brings backs some of the old UI (i.e. the 1:1 port of the desktop UI for the server sidebar). What they had in the beta UI for server selection was so much better

        the drawer was pretty convinient but didn’t work with server folders that well…
        also the fullscreen channel list didn’t look good.
        the current “new” ui is a nice middle ground
