Discord tests ability to add GIFs to favorites on mobile

Discord is testing the ability to add GIFs to favorites on the mobile app on select devices. Until now, this feature has only been available on the desktop version of the popular messaging app, but this is about toe change in the near future.

The new functionality was first spotted by an observant Redditor, who noted that it appears to work in the same seamless manner as its desktop counterpart. However, not everyone has access to this feature yet, suggesting it is still in the testing phase. This staggered rollout is common for new features in order to ensure everything works perfectly before making it widely available.

What makes this development even more exciting is the backstory behind it. A Discord intern claimed responsibility for the feature in a Reddit thread, proudly stating, “I made this on my first day! Hope you like it.” This comment quickly gained attention and praise from the Discord community. Users showered the intern with compliments, with one saying, “Now I’m concerned what they are paying the seniors for…” while another quipped, “You got this job just because that issue was annoying you, didn’t you?”

The heartfelt responses highlight the community’s appreciation for the intern’s swift and effective work. It’s not every day that a new team member makes such a noticeable impact on their first day, and this intern’s contribution has clearly struck a chord with Discord users.

As this feature continues to roll out, mobile users can look forward to a more synchronized experience with their desktop counterparts. This means you’ll now be able to access and use your favorite GIFs across the board regardless of the platform. Adding GIFs to favorites directly from mobile devices will soon be a reality for all, making interactions on Discord even more vibrant and expressive.

The addition of this seemingly simple feature has resonated deeply with users. But for now, we can’t tell you when it will become available for everyone, though it looks like it won’t be long.

Discord is also testing a new group DM feature to handle blocked users and ‘last seen’ online status feature.
