When you update Discord, you get bug fixes, performance improvements, and sometimes even new features. An update is supposed to enhance your experience with the app, and this is exactly what Discord updates do. Discord updates are free and easy to download on all of the compatible platforms.

How to Update Discord on Windows and Mac

To update Discord on your Windows or Mac computer, all you have to do is close the app and then reopen it.

• First, exit out of the Discord app on your Windows or Mac computer. Make sure the app is fully closed.
• Then, reopen Discord on your computer. To do so, on Windows, open the “Start” menu, search for “Discord”, and click the app. On Mac, open Spotlight by pressing Command+Spacebar, type “Discord”, and select the app in the search results.
• When Discord opens, it will automatically check for new updates. If an update is available, it will download and install it for you.
• Assuming you didn’t run into any of Discord’s update errors, you are now running the latest version of Discord on your computer.
