When you have a list of friends, such as ten friends, you may consider creating a Discord group instead of a server. A Discord group chat is convenient when all the people you want to talk with are people in your Discord friends list.
When the group becomes inactive or no longer relevant, you may want to leave the group. Well, it’s possible, and we will show you how.
You can leave a Discord group chat on your mobile or desktop applications. Open your Discord mobile app and tap the menu icon at the top. Open the particular group chat and tap the people icon at the top. Tap on the three dots on the right, select “Leave Group,” and confirm your action. If using the Discord desktop version, open Discord and access the particular group under the “Direct Message” section. Right-click on the group and select “Leave Group.”
We will discuss the Discord group chat. We will see the steps for creating a Discord group chat on mobile and desktop. Next, we will discuss reasons for wanting to leave the group chat and the steps you should follow to leave the group chat.
What Is a Discord Group Chat?
Discord offers two main ways of communicating with people. You can create or join a server and interact with the server members. Alternatively, you can use direct messages to talk with your Discord friends. With direct messages, you may run into a situation where you want to talk with a few Discord friends simultaneously.
When such a case occurs, you can create a Discord group chat and add your Discord friends. A group chat is convenient where you only want to talk with your Discord friends, unlike a server that allows anyone to join, provided it’s a public server. A group chat on Discord has a maximum of ten members.
