Discord has a developer mode, but we suspect most people do not know this unless they are developers. Now, the developer mode is great because it makes it possible for users to add new bots they’ve created. As it stands, if you are a developer, you will want to enable developer mode first before moving forward.
When the developer mode is turned on in Discord, users should realize that additional information is now available via the client. Whatever bot you’re planning to create, you will need certain data that only the developer mode can provide.
Which Discord client version supports developer mode?
At the moment, we understand the Discord clients for Windows 11/10, Mac, and the web all have support for developer mode. Now, when it comes down to Android and iOS, users will not be able to get the job done with the native apps but can do so via the web client by using the mobile web browsers.
How to enable Developer Mode on Discord for PC and Web
When it comes down to enabling Developer Mode on Windows 11/10, users must open the native Discord app or the web client. From there, folks must sign in with their credentials right away. Learning how to do this task is very important if you’re a developer, so keep reading:
