It's because they rewrote the app from the ground up. They had a lot of issues getting the AMOLED theme to work because the base of the entire thing was written with the idea that there will only ever be 2 themes.

Had to switch my theme back to normal dark from true black cause black usernames weren’t showing. Def some work needed on the he additional theme. Overall digging the update tho

I've been using Vendetta with a custom stylesheet for mobile which does the AMOLED theme much better than discord, haven't used the new app yet and I'm honestly contemplating whether I should get the old android native app running again.
