What is DISCORD? Should I be concerned about my partner being on it constantly Hiding his phone from me while texting? Is it used for uni? He had an addiction to an app called Skout for many years and it really affected his mental health and our relationship. I have asked him to stop spending so much time on it and that I am concerned about him and us but he gets angry and upset at me saying that it's for uni and that I just don't want him to achieve or that I am jealous that he is happy. Has he just replaced one with the other or am I being unreasonable?

It’s a messaging app.
It's a messaging/group chat platform. So it makes sense that he could be using it to communicate with his uni peers.
His behavior though, that's a tad troubling.
Sounds like he checks it obsessively, he doesn't want you to see what he's sending (and receiving if that's a fair assumption), he's defensive when you come from a place of concern and request that he spend a bit less time on there and on top of that he's got a history of getting to an unhealthy level with social apps.
I think your worries are well justified tbh.
I don't necessarily think that automatically means he's doing anything sinister on there but I do think it may be an indication of where his mental health is at.
My son uses it to talk to other gamers, it’s a chat community.
It’s not tinder or anything, as far as I know.
Maybe hes hiding hes using it because every time you catch him usong it for uni, you're reacting?
How often would be reasonable to use it for uni? Few hours a day? Half the day? Most of the day? Til 4 in the morning? While driving the car?
Anyone on anything constantly is a problem.
Also discord isn’t just a messaging app, there are many other features. It’s often used by gamers to network and problem solve.
It sounds like your partner has a real issue with tech in general.
