Many have voiced their concern that instead of sending the image that they have copied over to the clipboard, Discord is sending a random image from their camera roll [or one of the old images that they had copied earlier for some other purpose]. Since the gallery beholds personal memories, it could prove to be a significant privacy invasion for the sender. Fortunately, there does exist a workaround that should help you rectify this bug. So without further ado, let’s check it out.
Fix Discord sending random images instead of the copied one
First off, let’s ease out the tension in the room- this is just a UI bug and nothing major to worry about as such. The image that you had copied and intended to send has actually been sent to the receiver. However, on your end, Discord is erroneously showing you an incorrect preview of any other random image. So while it’s not that much of a risk, still it needs to be addressed at the earliest. For that, you just need to delete the temporary data of this app, as shown below:

As and when that happens, we will update this guide accordingly. In the meantime, the aforementioned workarounds are your best bet.
