How to fix Discord not working
Discord is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach discord.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Check the official status page
Open the official status page. If Discord has posted an incident there, wait for it to clear; no incident listed means the issue is on your end.
Reload the app
Reload the window with Ctrl+R on desktop, or close the app from the app switcher and open it again on mobile. A stale session can leave messages stuck on sending, or voice stuck on RTC Connecting.
Switch your network
Turn off any VPN and try a different connection, such as your phone's hotspot. If voice is the problem, open User Settings > Voice & Video and run the mic test; change the input and output devices there because the app may have picked the wrong ones.
Reinstall the desktop app
Uninstall it from your system settings, then install it again. On Windows, go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps > Discord > Uninstall. On macOS, open Finder > Applications and drag Discord to the Trash; download the installer again from the source you used before.
While Discord is down: what to use instead
- Discord in a web browser If the desktop app hangs on the update screen or keeps looping on the connecting message, open the web version in Chrome or Firefox, since it skips the local client and its cache.
- The mobile app on cellular data Switching your phone off Wi-Fi tells you fast whether your home network is the problem.
- Steam voice chat If your group already plays on Steam, you can start a voice call straight from the friends list and keep a match or raid night going until your server comes back.
- A Signal or WhatsApp backup group Keep a small group there with your core members so you can still tell people where to meet when the whole service is out.
Fix Discord on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone
Discord on Windows
- Fix
- Close Discord completely via the system tray or Task Manager, then relaunch it. If issues persist, clear the Discord AppData cache or reinstall the application.
- Check
- Try opening the Discord web client in a browser to see if the service loads. You can also check for connection error codes within the Windows desktop app.
ping discord.comTest whether Discord's servers replynslookup discord.comCheck that Discord's DNS resolvestracert discord.comTrace where the connection dropsipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reloadDiscord on Mac
- Fix
- Force quit Discord using the Option-Command-Escape menu and restart the app. If it still fails to connect, clear the Discord cache in your Library folder or reinstall the Mac client.
- Check
- Check if the Discord web interface loads in Safari or Chrome. If the web version works but the Mac app doesn't, the issue is likely local to your client.
ping -c 4 discord.comTest whether Discord's servers replynslookup discord.comCheck that Discord's DNS resolvestraceroute discord.comTrace where the connection dropssudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reloadDiscord on Android
- Fix
- Clear the Discord app cache in your Android settings and force stop the application. If it still won't load, check the Google Play Store for updates or reinstall Discord.
- Check
- Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to see if Discord reconnects. If other apps work but Discord fails on both connections, the service may be down.
Discord on iPhone and iPad
- Fix
- Force close the Discord app by swiping up from the app switcher and relaunching it. If the problem continues, check the App Store for updates or reinstall Discord.
- Check
- Attempt to access Discord through Safari to see if the web platform is responsive. If the web page loads but the iOS app does not, try toggling your network connection.

Ranked by the most problem reports in one 15-minute window. Our archive started on 5 October 2026, so earlier problems are not counted. Times are Central European time.
Problems at the same time as Discord
Since 5 October, 28 of Discord's 29 spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Discord goes down
Discord runs group chat and calls. Gaming crews, study servers, friend groups, and workplaces rely on it, so an outage interrupts the messages and calls you need; the status here counts problem reports from people in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours to show whether they are above their usual level, and it does not ping or probe the service.
Voice calls fail first. You tap a voice channel and sit on 'RTC Connecting' or 'No Route', while text channels keep loading for some people and not others. Messages hang on sending. Server lists may not refresh, notifications arrive late, the app can show a blank screen, and invites may not open because it cannot reach its servers; problems are often partial or regional, so your desktop app may fail while mobile still works, and one area may struggle while another stays fine.

How we track Discord
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Discord, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Discord, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Discord's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
