What Is Discord Canary And How To Download It
What is Discord Canary?
Discord Canary is a development version, AKA the Alpha version of Discord, that users can download to experience new and upcoming Discord features before they arrive to the stable version. Canary is a tier above Beta, and while it’s mostly usable, users may experience random crashes or bugs here and there.
While, it’s completely safe to use, Discord warns that it’s “the most unstable version” of their platform. It suggests you use this client at your own risk, since the features are untested and may hinder your normal usage.
How to Install Discord Canary
Discord Canary is available across all major platforms where the app is already available, including Linux, Windows, Mac, and Android. Here’s how to install it on all those platforms. If you don’t want to install it, you can always try it out in a browser at canary.discord.com.
On PC
The easiest way to differentiate between the stable and canary releases is by looking at the Discord icon. Canary has a yellow icon, whereas the stable version has the original icon.
On Android
Unfortunately, on iOS, there’s no way to test out the Canary version on iOS. You can only run the Beta version by signing up for Discord TestFlight here.
And that’s how you can install Discord Canary on your PC and Phone. What are your thoughts on Discord as a messaging platform? Let us know in the comments.
