My phone’s a S21 as well (well, S21 FE), and I’m in South Dakota. I’ve had my account since 2017.
Someone from the EU itt reported that they had the settings enabled like I did, so I now think the location hypothesis is wrong. Must be just A/B testing or whatever it’s called, or possibly something more nefarious.
It never gave me a message about experimental testing when I disabled it lol. Discord must be doing some real deep testing right now because so many users are having slightly different experiences.
Thanks for letting me know! I was starting to feel like I was alone, although clearly it’s happening to some of us, based on our experience and the tumblr post.
I wonder if this difference in experience might have something to do with privacy laws in different countries. I’m in the US.
I wouldn’t be terribly surprised! This makes me feel that perhaps it was good to post this. The more people check this setting, the less discord would be able to benefit from such a strategy. In any case, it never hurts to review one’s privacy settings from time to time.
Weird inconsistencies aside, this whole new design is pretty terrible imo. It feels pretty out of touch with how people actually use and navigate the platform.
This is making my head hurt, but the checkbox hasn’t re-checked itself after I left and returned. That is so odd.
Someone in my discord server also said it wasn’t enabled for him. This is messing with my mind because I feel confident I would never have enabled such a thing! I’m always so mindful of not letting apps access my phone contacts.
Do you have the latest version? This is 207.23 on Android.
Both settings were enabled for me.
This whole thing is weird. Two people have commented saying it’s not enabled for them, but I feel certain I didn’t enable it myself, and it was enabled for me after the latest update.
Edit: Someone in a discord server said it wasn’t enabled for them either so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Suuuure, and the people on tumblr, and the other people in this thread who’ve had it enabled.
This is some weird, rude, reddit-tier gaslighting arrogance, mY gUy. Totally unchill and uncalled for.
Don’t believe me, idgaf, and don’t ever speak to me again.
