We are often focused on communicating on different servers when using Discord. Even so, creating private messages on the platform is still required. Discord allows users to connect with one another through servers and direct messages.
Before you may communicate via direct messages, you must first be friends with someone. However, the servers only require you to be a member to take part in the different channels.
We’ll understand what Discord’s private messages are. In addition, we are going to cover how to create a private message and how to check private messages on Discord.
What Is a Private Message on Discord?
A private message on Discord is a message sent between two users that can only be seen by those users. It is a way for users to communicate with each other in a one-on-one setting without others on a server seeing the conversation.
Private messages can be initiated by clicking on the user’s name in the member list or by searching for their username in the search bar. Once a private message is initiated, users can send text, images, videos, and other files to each other.
Private messages can also be used to create group conversations with multiple users. This can be done by adding additional users to the conversation.
It is important to note that although private messages are meant to be private, Discord may still have access to the messages for moderation or other purposes, and users should not share sensitive or confidential information over Discord.
How To Create Private Messages on Discord
To create a private message on Discord, follow these steps:
- Open the Discord app or website and log in to your account.
- Locate the user you want to message. You can do this by finding them in the member list of a server or by searching for their username in the search bar.
- Click on the user’s name to open their profile.
- Click on the “Message” button located next to their username and profile picture.
- A new chat window will appear, allowing you to type your message. You can also attach files or images by clicking the “+” icon.
- Once you have typed your message, hit the enter key or click the “Send” button to send the message.
You can continue to chat with the user in this private message thread as long as you both want to. If you want to add more users to the conversation, click the “Add Friends to DM” button and search for their usernames.
Note that if you have mutual servers with the user you want to message, you can also start a private message by right-clicking on their name in the member list and selecting “Message.”
How To Check Private Messages on Discord
To check your private messages on Discord, follow these steps:
- Open the Discord app or website and log in to your account.
- Look for the direct message (DM) icon located on the left-hand side of the screen. It looks like a speech bubble with a plus sign inside.
- Click on the DM icon to open your direct messages.
- You will see a list of all the users and groups you have active conversations with. Click on the conversation you want to view to open it.
- Once you are in the conversation, you can view all the messages that have been sent between you and the other user(s). You can also send new messages by typing in the text box at the bottom of the screen and hitting the enter key or clicking the “Send” button.
If you have a lot of conversations, you can use the search bar at the top of the direct messages screen to search for a specific user or message. This can help you quickly find the conversation you are looking for.
