Now, let’s go ahead and install Discord on your Samsung Watch. As you may already know, currently there is no official method to install Discord on your Samsung Watch, as there is no Discord app for Wear OS. But don’t worry, I’m going to show you how you can easily install and use Discord on your Galaxy Watch.

You’ll have to sideload the Discord application on your Samsung Watch. You can follow the below-mentioned steps to install Discord on any Galaxy Watch running on Wear OS, be it Galaxy Watch 4, Galaxy Watch 5, or Galaxy Watch 6.

First, you will have to install the ADB tool and Discord APK on your smartphone, which you will later sideload on your Galaxy Watch.

1. Open the Play Store on your phone and install the Bugjaeger application.

2. Install Discord APK on your smartphone.

Next, you have to enable the Developer Mode on your Galaxy Watch, and then turn on Wireless Debugging to make your Galaxy Watch ready for sideloading the Discord app.

Now, that your Watch is ready for Wireless debugging, let’s go ahead and install the Discord app on your Galaxy Watch.

6. Open the Bugjaeger app on your smartphone, tap on the Connect device icon, and select Pair.

Note: On my Galaxy Watch 5, it took four tries to Pair, and on my Galaxy Watch 6 it paired on the second try.

7. Now go to the Wireless debugging section on your Galaxy Watch and tap on Pair new device.

8. Now enter the pairing code from your Galaxy Watch in the Bugjaeger app open on your phone and tap on Pair.

What Features Can You Access?

In my experience, I was able to access almost all the things that I normally do while on Discord. However, it’s not as efficient as navigating Discord on your smartphone or desktop. It definitely takes some getting used to it but after you get the hang of it, I can say it is usable. Below are some of the things that I was able to access using Discord on my Galaxy Watch.

Servers & Media

I was able to access all the servers along with all their content including videos and other media files as well.

Groups & Friend Lists (Texts, Voice Calls)

By accessing group chats and friend lists, I was easily able to engage in conversations. I was able to engage in individual conversations, through texts, make calls to my friends, and receive incoming voice calls.

Video Calls

I effectively made and attended video calls on Discord from my Galaxy Watch, but as smartwatches don’t have cameras, the other person was only able to get audio from my end.

Notifications

By opening the notification tile, I had access to all the notifications I got on my Discord.

User Profile

I was also able to open the Profile section which allowed me to make changes to my Discord account and Profile.

How To Customize DPI?

Since the Discord app is not optimized for Wear OS, there are some issues or functions that you might not be able to access properly. You could also face some trouble while navigating the interface. But don’t worry, you also have an option to customize the DPI of your Watch so you can get a better view of the screen layout. Follow the below-mentioned steps to change the DPI of your Galaxy Watch.

Note: By changing the DPI of your Galaxy Watch, the contents of the display will get smaller, so if you have poor eyesight, it might not be suitable for you. However, you can easily reverse it and change the contents of the display back to their original size.

1. Open the Bugjaeger app and connect your Galaxy Watch through it for Wireless debugging.

2. Go to the Commands section and tap on the code <> icon.

3. Now type in wm density 150 and enter by tapping the play icon.

This will change the DPI of your Galaxy Watch screen and make the contents smaller so that they fit on the watch screen.

4. To turn the screen back to normal, type in wm density reset, and the contents of the Watch display will revert to their original size.

And that’s how you can easily change the screen size of your Galaxy Watch to better navigate and use Discord or any other sideloaded app.
