How to Leave A Discord Server

Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
Discord is all fun and games if you are a part of a lively server that has a cool community. You can obsess about some game, comic, or song with hundreds of other people without the fear of being called geeky.
However, sometimes you might disagree with other members, which can lead you to hunt for some other server. Other times, the server might be inactive, or you may not mix well with the crowd. Or maybe, you landed there by mistake. So, how do you leave a Discord server?
Whatever your reason, here is a detailed guide on how to leave a server on Discord!
A few things to note before you leave a server –
- After you exit from a server, you will no longer be able to send any texts on it.
- You will not receive any notifications from the server.
- Your username will no longer appear in the member list of the server.
- Whatever role you had in the server will be disabled.
- If you own a server, you will have to transfer the ownership to another member before you quit.
- The person you hand over your server to can do whatever they want with it.
- You can join the server you left again if you change your mind.
Part 1: How to Leave a Discord Server on Computer?
Several peoples and hardcore gamers use Discord over a PC. And you can wave goodbye to the channel in a matter of few seconds. The procedure is the same for Mac and Windows.
- Open Discord on your computer (the desktop app or on the browser).
- Tap on the server name that appears towards the top left.
- Right at the bottom of the list, click on the option leave server
After confirming you won’t be a part of that server anymore. You cannot send any texts or get any notifications. The server name will disappear from the server list in your profile.
Part 2: How to Leave a Discord Server on the Mobile App?
The procedure of leaving the server is more or less the same on the mobile app. The user interface of Discord does not differ much across the devices. To quit a server, follow these steps -
- Click open the Discord app on your mobile.
- Click on the right pane and click on the 3 dots that appear. Click on the name of the server that you want to leave.
- From the menu that opens, scroll towards the bottom and click on the leave server option.
After confirmation, you will not be a part of the server anymore. The process is the same for ios and Android devices.
If you have decided to take a break from gaming and Discord, you can consider uninstalling the app temporarily. You can also turn off the notifications in the app settings on your device.
Bonus: How to Transfer Discord Server Ownership?
How to leave your own Discord server? If your server has many members in it, it is wiser to transfer the ownership rather than shutting the server completely or abandoning it to fate. Especially if the users are active, then you can handover the ownership to a trustworthy person.
Here is how you can do it -
For desktop
The process is quite simple and only takes a few minutes.
- Open the Discord app or log in using the browser.
- Click on the server that you want to leave.
- With right-click, open up the floating menu.
- From that list, select server settings and then choose members.
- Select the user that You Want To handover your server to. Tap those 3 dots and tap on ‘transfer ownership.’
- Confirm your choice and then click on transfer ownership.
- The chosen member will become the new owner of the server.
On mobile
The transfer procedure is quite similar to the desktop version. However, it has a few extra steps.
- Open your Discord App on your phone.
- Select the server that you want to give away.
- Tap those 3 dots to open up the menu. Under user management, tap on ‘members.’
- Select the member that will be the new owner of your server. Tap the 3 dots that appear next to the name of that user.
- A confirmation box will appear.
- Check off the box to confirm your choice.
Your server is now successfully transferred to the selected member. And the new owner can decide what to do with the server.
FAQs About Leaving A Discord Server
- How can I leave a Discord server without anyone knowing?
Frankly speaking, there is no magic to help conceal your disappearance from a server. There is no way to hide your departure. However, you can take a few measures to make it less noticeable.
- Lay low for a few hours or days. This won’t work if you are the loudest member on the server. But still, it’s worth a shot.
- Try changing your avatar, profile picture, and nickname. This can throw people off the track or confuse them for a while.
- Control yourself and try not to tell anyone that you are leaving.
- And now it’s time for the discreet farewell!
You might still get some texts on personal asking about your exit. This is not a surefire way of making your exit a secret. However, hundreds of members along with bots will make your disappearance less apparent. Another solution would be to create a new user ID and leave the old one inactive.
- Does leaving a Discord server delete your messages?
No, none of the texts that you sent on the server get deleted. Every text remains, even after you leave. The only way you can delete your texts if you delete them all one by one, or someone with sufficient permissions deletes them. If you get banned, then the member who banned you decides whether to keep your messages on the server or remove them. In this case, your texts can be removed if the member deletes them.

Perfecting Chat Engagement: The Art of Pinning Messages in Discord
How to Pin A Message on Discord?
Richard Bennett
Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
Like TeamSpeak or Skype, Discord is a chat app aimed at easy mass communication. Although it was made for gamers, it is readily used for communicating in offices, during projects, or for professional collaboration.
Even though it’s straightforward to use, there are several Discord features that you may be unfamiliar with.
One such feature is called pinning messages. It is available to moderators, administrators, server owners, and other users who have permission to “Manage Messages” in various server channels.
This feature helps you find and share vital messages quickly, especially when new users join a specific channel.
It acts like a sticky note for Discord, making sure valuable information such as server rules do not get overshadowed by new messages even months after the pinned messages are first posted.
Today, we will go over how to pin a message on Discord for your desktop app on PC and Mac, as well as on your iPhone and Android mobile devices.
Part 1: How to Pin A Message on Discord Desktop?
If you want to learn how to pin messages on Discord desktop, follow these steps:
- Hover over any message which you wish to pin.
- On the right-hand side of it, there will be a button that would read as More; click it and you will see a screen like below
- Now, click on the “Pin Message” option
- After which, you will be presented with a prompt asking you to confirm that you want to pin this particular message. Click on “Oh yeah, pin it.”
That’s it! You have now learned how to pin messages on Discord for the desktop application.
But make sure you don’t pin everything that might seem important at a glance — only pin messages that may have utility in the future.
Also, don’t pin messages that are just important for you. In larger channels, prioritize pinning messages that will benefit most participants.
Part 2: How to Pin Messages on Discord Mobile App?
Pinning messages in the mobile app is very similar to how it is done on the desktop application. Do it by:
- Just hold down your finger on the message you wish to pin
- A couple of seconds later, you will be presented with a list of options
- From here, click on “Pin Message”
- A pop-up will appear confirming if you want to pin the message. If you are sure you want to pin a particular message, tap the “Yes” button and then your message is pinned
Part 3: How to View Pinned Messages on Discord
Accessing pinned messages is just as easy as pinning them. To access a pinned message on the app’s desktop version:
- Click on the pin icon appearing on the top right-hand side of your screen
- Doing this will present you with a drop-down list of pinned messages. Now, you can tap on the “Jump” button next to the “x” (cross) icon to go directly to the pinned message
- This will allow you to understand the context behind the pinned message. You can also access and share links in the pinned messages from here
Part 4: How to View Pinned Messages on Discord Mobile
View your pins on the mobile version of Discord by:
- Swiping from right to left, which will open up a side menu
- Then click on “Pins,” which is the second option from the left, as shown in the picture below
- Now you will be in the pinned messages window
- You can jump to a specific pinned message by clicking on it, allowing you to access any content or links in the message
Part 5: Limit on Pinned Messages
You can only pin 50 messages in the pin box in Discord, meaning if you want to pin new messages, you will have to delete older ones to make space.
This may feel like a disadvantage. However, it makes perfect sense. Pinning messages is only for important information that must be used in the future.
Removing this limit and giving people free rein on the number of messages they can pin will eventually lead to too many pinned messages, defeating the feature’s purpose.
Part 6: How to Delete Pinned Messages on Discord?
If something pinned in the past has become redundant over time, you can remove it from the pinned messages.
This will make sure your pinned messages do not stockpile over time, and there is space to add new messages important to the server.
To remove pinned messages on desktops:
- Go to the pin icon used to access pins
- Next, hover over the message you wish to unpin and click on the “x” (cross) button next to the jump button
- After this, click on the “yeah, remove it please kthx” button
- The message will now stop appearing in the list of pinned messages
To do the same for mobile devices:
- Swipe right to left to access the side menu
- Click on “Pins” to view all the messages pinned by you or other people on the server with permissions to pin
- Then hold down on the message, which will give you an option to unpin it
- Click on “Unpin” to remove the message from the list of pinned messages
Things to keep in mind:
- You can skip the pop-up shown above when trying to remove a pinned message. All you must do is hold shift when clicking on the “x” (cross) button allowing you to go on that spree of unpins
- Another thing to remember is that all these tips on how pin messages apply to both Direct Messages (DM) and Server group chats
All in All
Learning how to pin a message on Discord could be a little tricky at first, mostly if you haven’t done so in the past and someone spontaneously asks you to do so.
However, the feature is pretty intuitive and straightforward once you get the hang of it.
The usefulness of pinning makes it very important for both old and new users as you can relay important information without having to go through tons of old messages.

Learning how to pin a message on Discord could be a little tricky at first, mostly if you haven’t done so in the past and someone spontaneously asks you to do so.
However, the feature is pretty intuitive and straightforward once you get the hang of it.
The usefulness of pinning makes it very important for both old and new users as you can relay important information without having to go through tons of old messages.

Like TeamSpeak or Skype, Discord is a chat app aimed at easy mass communication. Although it was made for gamers, it is readily used for communicating in offices, during projects, or for professional collaboration.
Even though it’s straightforward to use, there are several Discord features that you may be unfamiliar with.
One such feature is called pinning messages. It is available to moderators, administrators, server owners, and other users who have permission to “Manage Messages” in various server channels.
This feature helps you find and share vital messages quickly, especially when new users join a specific channel.
It acts like a sticky note for Discord, making sure valuable information such as server rules do not get overshadowed by new messages even months after the pinned messages are first posted.
Today, we will go over how to pin a message on Discord for your desktop app on PC and Mac, as well as on your iPhone and Android mobile devices.
Part 1: How to Pin A Message on Discord Desktop?
If you want to learn how to pin messages on Discord desktop, follow these steps:
- Hover over any message which you wish to pin.
- On the right-hand side of it, there will be a button that would read as More; click it and you will see a screen like below
- Now, click on the “Pin Message” option
- After which, you will be presented with a prompt asking you to confirm that you want to pin this particular message. Click on “Oh yeah, pin it.”
That’s it! You have now learned how to pin messages on Discord for the desktop application.
But make sure you don’t pin everything that might seem important at a glance — only pin messages that may have utility in the future.
Also, don’t pin messages that are just important for you. In larger channels, prioritize pinning messages that will benefit most participants.
Part 2: How to Pin Messages on Discord Mobile App?
Pinning messages in the mobile app is very similar to how it is done on the desktop application. Do it by:
- Just hold down your finger on the message you wish to pin
- A couple of seconds later, you will be presented with a list of options
- From here, click on “Pin Message”
- A pop-up will appear confirming if you want to pin the message. If you are sure you want to pin a particular message, tap the “Yes” button and then your message is pinned
Part 3: How to View Pinned Messages on Discord
Accessing pinned messages is just as easy as pinning them. To access a pinned message on the app’s desktop version:
- Click on the pin icon appearing on the top right-hand side of your screen
- Doing this will present you with a drop-down list of pinned messages. Now, you can tap on the “Jump” button next to the “x” (cross) icon to go directly to the pinned message
- This will allow you to understand the context behind the pinned message. You can also access and share links in the pinned messages from here
Part 4: How to View Pinned Messages on Discord Mobile
View your pins on the mobile version of Discord by:
- Swiping from right to left, which will open up a side menu
- Then click on “Pins,” which is the second option from the left, as shown in the picture below
- Now you will be in the pinned messages window
- You can jump to a specific pinned message by clicking on it, allowing you to access any content or links in the message
Part 5: Limit on Pinned Messages
You can only pin 50 messages in the pin box in Discord, meaning if you want to pin new messages, you will have to delete older ones to make space.
This may feel like a disadvantage. However, it makes perfect sense. Pinning messages is only for important information that must be used in the future.
Removing this limit and giving people free rein on the number of messages they can pin will eventually lead to too many pinned messages, defeating the feature’s purpose.
Part 6: How to Delete Pinned Messages on Discord?
If something pinned in the past has become redundant over time, you can remove it from the pinned messages.
This will make sure your pinned messages do not stockpile over time, and there is space to add new messages important to the server.
To remove pinned messages on desktops:
- Go to the pin icon used to access pins
- Next, hover over the message you wish to unpin and click on the “x” (cross) button next to the jump button
- After this, click on the “yeah, remove it please kthx” button
- The message will now stop appearing in the list of pinned messages
To do the same for mobile devices:
- Swipe right to left to access the side menu
- Click on “Pins” to view all the messages pinned by you or other people on the server with permissions to pin
- Then hold down on the message, which will give you an option to unpin it
- Click on “Unpin” to remove the message from the list of pinned messages
Things to keep in mind:
- You can skip the pop-up shown above when trying to remove a pinned message. All you must do is hold shift when clicking on the “x” (cross) button allowing you to go on that spree of unpins
- Another thing to remember is that all these tips on how pin messages apply to both Direct Messages (DM) and Server group chats
