The AMOLED optimized mode is a hidden app appearance setting that is exclusive to the mobile version of Discord and Experimental settings in desktop client. When enabled, the entire interface becomes darker than the standard dark theme, along with a pure black background. This theme is incredibly useful for devices with AMOLED displays, as when a pixel is set to pure black, it shuts off entirely to save power. It was an exclusive Android feature until February of 2023, as it is now available on iOS devices as well, but only works if you have the regular Appearance menu instead of the Nitro color themes.
How to activate[]
