One such feature is a new dark theme in Discord called AMOLED Mode. However, if Discord AMOLED Mode is not working or you cannot find the option to enable it, this guide is for you.

AMOLED Mode is an experimental feature hidden beneath the app’s UI. Since it is still an experimental feature, you may encounter bugs preventing the AMOLED mode from working. In this guide, we will show how to enable Discord’s AMOLED Mode and fix the issues. Let’s start.

On PC

Unline mobile, Discord doesn’t offer the option to enable AMOLED dark mode for the PC application and in the browser, even as an experiment setting.

5 Fixes for Amoled Mode Not Working on Discord

As mentioned, the AMOLED Mode is still a beta feature, so you will run into issues occasionally. However, we have some workarounds and fixes until Discord optimizes the feature.

1. Switch the Discord App Theme

Since AMOLED dark mode is part of the theme section, so, when AMOLED dark mode stops working, switch to any other theme and enable it again. Here are the steps:

Step 2: Choose Appearance under App Settings.

Step 3: Select Light theme and exit the app.

Step 4: Now, visit the Appearance page again and enable Dark mode.

Step 5: Toggle on AMOLED Mode.

2. Check Device compatibility

While we could not get any official confirmation, you might not see the AMOLED Mode inside Discord due to compatibility issues with your device’s display. If the feature name didn’t give it away, AMOLED dark mode is for devices with OLED/AMOLED displays. It’s best to check it on a device with an AMOLED panel and see if the feature works.

3. Clear Cache on Android Devices

Cache files help decrease the app load times, but if you don’t clear the cache files for a longer duration, it might hinder the Discord app’s performance. You can only clear the cache files in Android. Let’s look at the steps to clear the Discord cache.

Note: Depending on the Android phone and the version, the option names and their position might differ. However, these steps can still give you a rough idea of what to do.

Step 2: Choose Discord and tap ‘Storage and cache,’

Step 3: Tap Clear cache.

If you’re an iPhone user, offload the app and install it again. As for the browser, you can clear the cache and see if that helps.
