Discord is a popular VOIP and chatting platform for gamers who want to get together with their friends. However, Discord’s popularity has surged during the past couple of months as a result of the COIVD-19 outbreak.
Millions of people are using Discord nowadays to get in voice calls. The developers of Discord want to make sure that all their new users have access to all the features that they need and this is why they are introducing a bunch of features.
Discord New Update
If you enjoy using Discord, then we have some amazing news to share with you. A brand-new update has just been released and it is rolling out via OTA (over the air) channels to all users.
The update sports the 18.0-alpha6 version number and today we are going to cover everything there is to know about it. Without any further ado, let’s get into it.
Eliminating Background Noise
The first thing that Discord fans will notice after downloading the new update is the fact that they can cut down on background noise. This is great news for Discord fans because it means that the quality of their audio calls will be greatly improved.
