Is the Discord app stuck on black screen on your iPhone? Black screen on Discord means that it is unresponsive. There can be a ton of reasons why the Discord is showing this black screen, but instead of wasting time detecting the issue, where you can bypass this under a minute and get your focus back to the game.
Fix 1 – Log into the App via browser
There is a neat trick that you can use to log into the Discord app using a browser.
Step 1 – Open up Safari or Google Chrome, which one you prefer.
Step 2 – Next, load up the Discord log in page in there.
Step 3 – Type your Discord email ID and provide the password in there. Tap the “Log in” to log in to your Discord app.
The moment you try to log into your Discord app from a browser page on iPhone, it will show up the option to continue on the Discord app.
Step 4 – So, use the “Continue on Discord app” option, and you shall be automatically logged into your account on the Discord app.
So, when the Discord opens up, and you are logged in, open up your channel or any other channel. See if this is working or not.
Fix 2 – Force-close the Discord app
You have to force-terminate the Discord app and re-open the same.
Step 1 – While using the Discord app, swipe upwards to the list of apps on the foreground and background.
