Nowadays, most gaming services allows you to see what your friends are playing which includes Steam, Xbox Live, and PlayStation Network. Other services such as Discord also allows you to do this on PC, but the functionality is not available for viewing on the Android app.

XDA-Developers has recently noticed a “Game Detection Service” in the Discord Android App, which lets the app detect what Android game that you’re playing and gives you the option of displaying the game as a status message.

If you’d like to activate the Game Detection Service,  you’ll need to tap on user settings then select the Game option. Then, simply enable the two toggles found in the menu and you’re done. In addition to that, the function also requires the usage access permission to work properly.

Once you’re up and running, your status should automatically update with the name of the Android game you’re currently playing. The feature is only available in version 7.9.9 now, but the stable Play Store release is version 7.9.5.
