How to Disable Swipe to Reply on Discord

Addressing User Feedback:

We understand that some users have encountered changes to the swipe gesture functionality used to access the member list. We value your feedback and recognize the importance of maintaining a familiar and intuitive user experience.

Current Status:

The previously announced "Disable Swipe to Reply" option has been temporarily removed from the app settings. Our development team is actively working on reintroducing the ability to swipe left to view the member list. This functionality is expected to replace the current "Swipe to Reply" gesture in a future update.

Transparency and Communication:

We appreciate your patience as we work towards this improvement. While we cannot provide a specific release date at this time, we are committed to keeping you informed through official Discord channels. These channels will announce the confirmed release date of the updated swipe gesture functionality.

Temporary Workaround:

While a dedicated disable option is not currently available, a temporary workaround exists. Swiping right first, followed by a swipe left, will still allow you to access the member list.

We hope that with these mentioned steps you will successfully deactivate the slide to reply in Discord and that you will be able to restore the experience within it.
