Discord Canary is an alpha testing program of Discord, which is designed to allow users to help Discord test new functions. It is not as stable as the normal build version, and it usually receives features earlier than the Stable or PTB (Public Test Build) clients. Discord Canary is intended for developers, testers, and enthusiasts who want to try new features and provide feedback to developers. The name "Canary" comes from the mining industry, where miners would take a canary with them to work to test the air quality. If the canary survived, the miners would be safe enough to carry on work. In technology terms, a "canary" is an alpha build or release of software intended for other developers, quality testers, and keen users.
While using Discord Canary, users may encounter slow reaction problems, not working issues, false function matters, app crashes, and even system/computer errors. Therefore, Discord Canary is not that safe, and only serious developers, testers, and enthusiasts are recommended to use it. Discord Canary is entirely safe to use, but it is not a stable build, so crashes, bugs, and other issues are expected. If you want to try Discord Canary, you can download it as a desktop application or access the web-based version using your browser.
