Currently the feature is available on the Windows app.

Users who have multiple Discord accounts will soon be able to switch between them using an easy-to-use Account Switcher.

While dissecting the Android version of Discord, XDA members discovered an unreleased feature in October last year. The goal of this feature was to add multiple Discord accounts and seamlessly switch between them. Here's how it works now that it's been made available to users.

In the past, users were unable to log into the Discord application with multiple accounts. If you wanted to add another account to the app, you would first need to log out of the one you were using at that time. Because of this, switching between accounts on the app becomes a hassle.

Because of the Account Switcher feature, the Discord app now allows you to add multiple accounts and switch between them with a few taps on the screen. The feature has already begun to roll out to some users, but, as noted in a new FAQ page, it is currently only available to a small number of users at the time of writing. In the event that you're one of the fortunate few, you should notice a new Account Switching pop-up in the bottom right corner of the app when you first launch it.

To use the new feature, tap your avatar in the bottom left corner and select “Switch Account." In the overflow menu, tap “Manage Accounts” to add more. It allows you to switch between a maximum of five accounts. After that, tap on “Switch Account” to see all your accounts. Tap on any of the accounts to switch to them.

The Account Switcher does not reveal which accounts you are changing to other users. You may lose some preferences when you switch accounts, such as a few appearance settings that aren't backed up.

At this time, it's unclear if the feature will be available on all platforms for the Discord app. Currently, it is available on the Discord app for Windows, but no Android or iOS devices.
