Mastering Discord: Message Pinning Essentials
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.

Tackling Toxicity Head-On: The Definitive Guide to Reporting Users on Discord
How to Report Someone on Discord
Richard Bennett
Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
Discord has completely transformed online communication, becoming the preferred platform for gamers, streamers, and reviewers alike.
As of late, it has started integrating with other gaming and streaming services, giving us the streamer mode. With streaming’s growing popularity, it’s essential to know what the streamer mode is all about.
If you’re a gamer, Discord’s streamer mode allows you to stream your gaming session to viewers by broadcasting your game to your friends, fans, and even a closed community of enthusiasts.
Many e-gaming professionals have taken up streaming, offering original and valuable content for like-minded individuals. This mode helps them streamline all their communications in one place.
If you’re new to Discord’s streamer mode, you need to know what it is, how you can use it to engage with other community members, and the primary security concerns you need to be aware of.
- Part 1: How to Report Users on Discord Desktop?
- Part 2: How to Report Users on Discord Mobile App?
- Part 3: How to Kick People on Discord?
- Part 4: FAQs About Discord Reporting
For gamers in the modern era, Discord is a household name. The platform has around 120 million active users monthly as of early 2021.
With so many users on the forum, it is normal to have some “bad apples” in the mix. There are trolls, miscreants, and spammers who ruin the experience for everyone else.
You can report them to Discord Trust and Safety team. They would take appropriate action against these nuisances after reviewing evidence.
Reporting helps make healthier communities and allows you to avoid conflicts and outbreaks due to suspicious activity on the platform.
Today we will look into how to report someone on Discord using desktop and mobile devices. Moreover, we will look at other ways to deal with indecent behavior, such as kicking people or banning them.
Part 1: How to Report Users on Discord Desktop
Before you can report a person to Discord’s Trust and Safety team, you will need to enable Discord’s developer mode.
Enabling this mode will allow you to obtain the information necessary to file your report.
- Login to your Discord account on PC or Mac
- You will see a gear icon next to your username to the bottom left of your screen; click on it
- There will be a list of options in the sidebar; from here, click on “Appearance”
- Next, scroll down until you find “Developer Mode” under Advanced; turn it on
After enabling developer mode, you will now need the user ID of the person you are reporting. To get someone’s user ID:
- Right-click on their username
- From the list of options that appear, choose “Copy ID”
- Paste this user ID somewhere so that you can access it later
To report a specific message, you need to get the message link as well. For this:
- Locate the message you want to report
- Then hover your cursor over it and click on the ellipsis sign (…) on the right side
- Click on “Copy Message Link”
- Paste this somewhere so that you can use it later
After collecting the necessary information, go to Discord’s website to report it to Discord’s Trust and Safety Team .
You will have to provide your email address and post the two links copied earlier into the description box.
Also, it would help if you gave context regarding your report describing how and what rule was broken. You can also provide any other evidence you may want to present by attaching files in the attachments area.
Now, confirm that you are a human by completing the captcha and then click on “Submit.” Discord will contact you via email if action is taken against your complaint.
Part 2: How to Report Users on Discord on iPhone And Android
Just like on a desktop, you will first need to enable developer mode.
- After opening Discord on your mobile device, go to user settings by tapping on the gear icon or your profile picture next to your username
- On iPhone, tap on “Appearance” and then go to “Advanced,” whereas on Android, go to “App Settings” and tap “Behavior”
- Turn on developer mode by clicking on the slider under the “Chat Behavior” option
Like before, you will now need to obtain the User ID; the process may be slightly different depending on the phone you are using. In general, the steps would be:
- Open the user’s profile by tapping on it
- Tap on the ellipsis sign (…) in the upper-right of your screen and select “Copy ID”
- After doing this, paste the ID somewhere you can later access
Follow the steps below to get the message link to report.
- Go to the message and then hold down on it until a list of options appears
- On an iPhone, tap on “Copy Message Link.” For an android device, click on “Select” and then “Copy To Clipboard”
Now, you can send this information to the Trust and Safety team to assess it. To do this:
- Paste the two links copied earlier in the “Description Box”
- Provide your email address along with the context behind the situation
- Click on “Submit”
Part 3: How to Kick People on Discord
Discord also allows you to take care of improper behavior yourself. If you are a moderator or server owner, you can kick people for violating Discord’s guidelines.
However, it is essential to have a reason to kick someone. Otherwise, it may be seen as an abuse of power.
Here are activities to look out for before kicking someone:
- Spam messages
- Harassment
- Sharing child pornography
- Violating IP rights
- Sharing viruses
- Advocating self-harm or suicide
- Distributing gore content or animal cruelty
- Life threats to another user
If you see someone involved in these, you can kick them off your server or report them to moderators or server owners if you don’t have kicking authority.
In case the moderators or owners do not act on your complaint, you can always contact the Trust and Safety team.
If you happen to be a moderator or server owner, you have the authority to kick people off your server. Here is how to do it:
- Go to the correct channel on Discord
- Find the user from the user list on the right side of the screen
- Right-click on their username and then select “Kick”
- Click on “Kick” again to confirm your decision
Part 4: FAQs About Discord Reporting
There is no need to Google responses to “How do you report someone on Discord,” we have answers to the most frequently asked questions:
Can I Report People on Discord Anonymously?
According to a moderator on Discord’s subreddit , information regarding a reported case remains between the T&S team and the reporter. Nothing regarding the complaint is shared with the individual kicked.
What Happens If I Report Someone on Discord?
After you report someone on Discord, the T&S team goes through the evidence to justify or negate your claims.
Usually, this process takes a long time as the team evaluates whether the problem is part of a broader pattern.
After conducting their research and deciding upon a punishment, the T&S team will contact the offender via email to inform them about their misconduct and the relevant consequences.
In minor offenses, the T&S team will reach out to the reporter and teach them how to block the user rather than take direct action.
Can You Report Someone on Discord for Being Under 13?
Individuals under the age of 13 are not permitted to use Discord unless they have permission from a parent or guardian. However, it is not very easy to prove that the user is below a certain age.
If you know someone who is undoubtedly underage, then you can report them to the Trust & Safety team by filling out their form and adding evidence to back your claim.

- On iPhone, tap on “Appearance” and then go to “Advanced,” whereas on Android, go to “App Settings” and tap “Behavior”
- Turn on developer mode by clicking on the slider under the “Chat Behavior” option

- Open the user’s profile by tapping on it
- Tap on the ellipsis sign (…) in the upper-right of your screen and select “Copy ID”
- After doing this, paste the ID somewhere you can later access
Follow the steps below to get the message link to report.

Part 3: How to Kick People on Discord
Discord also allows you to take care of improper behavior yourself. If you are a moderator or server owner, you can kick people for violating Discord’s guidelines.
However, it is essential to have a reason to kick someone. Otherwise, it may be seen as an abuse of power.
Here are activities to look out for before kicking someone:
- Spam messages
- Harassment
- Sharing child pornography
- Violating IP rights
- Sharing viruses
- Advocating self-harm or suicide
- Distributing gore content or animal cruelty
- Life threats to another user
If you see someone involved in these, you can kick them off your server or report them to moderators or server owners if you don’t have kicking authority.
In case the moderators or owners do not act on your complaint, you can always contact the Trust and Safety team.
If you happen to be a moderator or server owner, you have the authority to kick people off your server. Here is how to do it:
- Go to the correct channel on Discord
- Find the user from the user list on the right side of the screen
- Right-click on their username and then select “Kick”
- Click on “Kick” again to confirm your decision
Part 4: FAQs About Discord Reporting
There is no need to Google responses to “How do you report someone on Discord,” we have answers to the most frequently asked questions:
Can I Report People on Discord Anonymously?
According to a moderator on Discord’s subreddit , information regarding a reported case remains between the T&S team and the reporter. Nothing regarding the complaint is shared with the individual kicked.
What Happens If I Report Someone on Discord?
After you report someone on Discord, the T&S team goes through the evidence to justify or negate your claims.
Usually, this process takes a long time as the team evaluates whether the problem is part of a broader pattern.
After conducting their research and deciding upon a punishment, the T&S team will contact the offender via email to inform them about their misconduct and the relevant consequences.
In minor offenses, the T&S team will reach out to the reporter and teach them how to block the user rather than take direct action.
Can You Report Someone on Discord for Being Under 13?
Individuals under the age of 13 are not permitted to use Discord unless they have permission from a parent or guardian. However, it is not very easy to prove that the user is below a certain age.
If you know someone who is undoubtedly underage, then you can report them to the Trust & Safety team by filling out their form and adding evidence to back your claim.
