Discord Updates Activity Features, Can Track Game Playing Time

JAKARTA Discord has updated its activity tracking feature on the latest patch. Previously, the activity feature only featured the game being played, but now the game history will also be displayed.

With this update, all members on the same server can see how long their friends play a game. In addition, the history of streak or how many times users visit the same game will also be displayed in this feature.

Through an update page released on August 28, 2024, Discord says that the latest activity features are only updated on the platform for desktop. This feature not only displays a history of games, but also a history of playing music.

"The list of server members on desktop now features the latest activities of members, including the games they've played and the songs they've listened to. Now you'll know when your friends re-launched your favorite game," Discord explained.

This update is a limited version of time tracking during Steam's play. This feature will feature the games that have been played over the past 30 days. If the user is recorded playing the Fantasy Final game for 20 hours, Discord will display it.

If Discord users don't like their activities that have been revealed, this feature can be disabled through settings. Users only need to search for activity features in the Activity Privacy section, then disable the feature.
