Some Discord users are experiencing an odd issue where the mobile app appears zoomed out, with smaller text and black borders around the edges. This seems to be affecting primarily iPhone users.
What's Causing the Zoomed-Out Bug?
According to Reddit reports, this issue seems to be triggered by accidental gestures near the screen's edges, particularly around the "Send" button. The bug affects server text channels, DMs, and friend lists, while other sections like video calls and settings appear unaffected. Some users speculate it may be related to lingering code from the "Launchpad" feature, even if it's disabled.
How to Fix the Zoomed Out Discord App
Here's what you can try to fix the zoomed out issue:
- Restart the app: Close Discord completely and reopen it. This often resets the layout to normal.
- Force close the app: Swipe the app away from your recent apps and then reopen it.
- Reinstall Discord: If the issue persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, especially if it lingers after backups.
- Check for updates: Make sure you're running the latest version of Discord in the App Store.
Is Discord Addressing This?
Discord hasn't yet acknowledged this specific bug officially, but it has been reported widely online. For now, restarting the app seems to be the most reliable workaround. We'll provide an update when more information becomes available.
