Troubleshooting: Discord Profile Theme is Not Saving
A common error that Discord users have encountered is the profile theme not changing because the changes are not being saved, or the changes are saved but the colors revert back to the default ones. Either way, here’s what you can do to solve this irritating issue:

It doesn’t get simpler than this. Just restart Discord and try changing the profile theme again.

Tap on Select when you’re done. Likewise, do the same for the other color option.
After choosing your desired color, tap on “Select” - Finally, save your changes by tapping on Save on the top-right corner, and check whether they’ve been applied.
