Discord has confirmed that its long-awaited mobile account switcher is on the way, giving users the ability to move between multiple accounts without repeatedly logging in and out.
The feature will arrive as part of Discord’s new Rust-based client, which is currently being tested with a focus on improving performance across devices.
While Discord already offers account switching on desktop, mobile users have been waiting for the same functionality. Now, the company has shared an early look at how it will work on smartphones.
Discord shows off mobile account switching on new Rust client
On November 10, Discord developer Stanislav shared a video demonstrating the account switcher running on an iPhone, showing how quickly users can move between profiles.
“Fast launch times are cool, but actual usage is what matters,” he wrote. “Check out the speed of the long-requested mobile account switcher on iOS on the new Rust client. And yes, it is just as fast on Android and Desktop.”
The demonstration shows a user opening Discord’s account menu and switching between profiles in a matter of seconds, without needing to manually enter login credentials each time.
Discord subsequently shared the video through its official X account, confirming that the new Rust client will include the long-awaited feature.
The account switcher could be particularly useful for people who maintain separate Discord profiles for personal conversations, gaming communities, or other activities.
Beyond account switching, the new client is also being developed with performance in mind. Stanislav’s comments suggest that Discord is focusing on improving both launch times and everyday responsiveness rather than simply making the app faster to open.
