How To Disable @everyone on Discord

When using Discord, the @everyone feature comes in handy when someone wants to share a message with every server member, such as an update. The @everyone tags everyone to ensure nobody misses the notification for the conveyed message.

While this is great, it gets annoying when members abuse the feature to annoy others with random and unnecessary notifications whenever they tag everyone.

This post details the steps to disable the @everyone feature on a Discord server and a channel. We will present the steps to use with the mobile and desktop versions. Let’s dive in!

Why Disable the @everyone on Discord?

The @everyone is a Discord tagging feature that lets any server member share a message or post on Discord and tag every member. This is helpful, especially when an admin wants to pass an announcement. When the @everyone is used, every member will get a notification about the shared message.

The drawback for the @everyone role comes in when random people in the server start misusing it to tag everyone for no worthy reason. These notifications will quickly annoy you, but you can disable the role. Whether it is for your Discord server or channel, you can diablo the @everyone to stop members from tagging everyone.
