The Unbound app file comes with two app extensions:
  • OpenInDiscord, a Safari extension that opens Discord links in the app.
  • A share extension that sends photos, videos, and files from other apps to Discord.
If your sideloading tool removed them, Unbound shows a Missing Safari Extension or Missing Share Extension alert when it launches. See Keep the app extensions for how to avoid that.

​
Turn on the Safari extension

iOS keeps Safari extensions off until you turn them on.
1

Open Safari Extensions

In the iOS Settings app, go to Apps > Safari > Extensions.
2

Turn On OpenInDiscord

Tap OpenInDiscord and turn it on.

​
What Open in Discord does

The extension handles links to discord.com and discord.gg. These kinds of links open in the app:
  • Invites, both discord.gg links and discord.com/invite links.
  • User profiles.
  • Channels.
  • Favorites.
When you tap a Discord link on any website, the link opens in the app instead of in Safari. When you open a Discord page in Safari directly, what happens depends on the link:
  • An invite opens in the app right away.
  • Other pages show a banner at the top that says “Open in the Discord app”. Tap OPEN to switch to the app.
Open OpenInDiscord from Safari’s extensions menu to change its settings.
  • Show Open in App banner shows the banner on Discord pages. It’s on by default.
  • Instantly prompt to open Discord opens every Discord page in the app right away, not only invites. It’s off by default.
  • Under Enable URL Types, turn off Discord Invites, User Profiles, Channels, or Favorites to keep those links in Safari.
You can’t turn off both the banner and the instant prompt. Turning off one turns the other on. Leave Discord URL Scheme as it is unless you know you need a different one.

​
Log in with a passkey

In a sideloaded app, logging in with a passkey goes through Safari, and it needs the Safari extension turned on.
1

Start the Passkey Login

When Discord asks for your passkey, it opens Discord’s login page in Safari instead.
2

Log In in Safari

A box at the top of the page says “Waiting for the Discord browser session…” until you’re logged in.
3

Go Back to the App

Safari switches back to Discord on its own. If it doesn’t, tap RETURN TO DISCORD in the box.
If the extension is missing, Discord shows a Safari Extension Required alert. If it’s installed but turned off, you may see Safari Extension Disabled instead. Turn it on as shown above, then try again.

​
Share to Discord

Use the share sheet in Photos, Files, or any other app to send up to 10 items to Discord. Pick the app in the share sheet, and the extension opens Discord and hands the items over. The share extension passes on photos, GIFs, videos, audio, and PDFs. Text and links aren’t passed on.
