If you’ve been lagging lately, check Discord’s settings. It has recently started to use up a lot of resources

If you play Fortnite, CS: GO, Valorant, or LoL and you are struggling with increased ping or lag, it is worth checking your Discord settings.

Recently, more and more people are pointing out that Discord uses a lot of resources and it’s not about CPU usage, but the Internet. It is especially acute for people who use DC all the time on mobile devices.

It can also be a nuisance for people who play and do not have fast internet. If you’ve been having problems lately, it’s worth taking a look at your Discord settings.

What to look for?

If you are on several dozen or over a hundred servers, and you do not write anything on most of them, it is definitely better to check if your internet connection is not affected. In recent days, many people have noticed an increase in Internet use through Discord.

If you notice something strange, you either have to look at the server list, or check the options for things like image compression, showing emoticons, etc.

Still, the most popular solution is to simply exit servers that you are not using. At the moment when Discord has become the basic communicator for many people, many simply forget to care about keeping everything clean.
