In an official post on April 14, Discord (opens in new tab)<\/span> revealed that all users of the mobile app can now send voice recordings up to 20 minutes long in DMs and on servers. While the messages can be listened to on desktop, the ability to record and send is limited to the mobile app.<\/p>\n

It works pretty much like the voice message functions in Signal, WhatsApp, or any other mobile instant messenger: there’s a new microphone icon to the right of the text field\u2060\u2014just hold it down and you’re off to the races. My thoughts were consumed with how this could be applied to good natured jokes and japes, but the blog post also helpfully outlined how you can prevent abuse of this feature.<\/p>\n
