[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

You can pass a dispatcher to async, that dispatcher will be used to run the block. await uses the dispatcher in the current context, which you can change with withContext.

nice thank u

To clarify, await doesn't really "use" a dispatcher, it just suspends the current coroutine.

Yeah, as he's describing await will receive the value in the current context, so there MAY be benefits if you have to utilize that value inside that context as well.
