How To See Messages on Discord

When you have a Discord account, you can connect with your Discord friends to communicate via text and voice. When you create a Discord server, you can use the text and voice channels to talk with other server members.

Still, you can message your Discord friends directly. You may get confused about where to find your Discord messages when you are new to Discord. Luckily, that ends today!

First, we will see how to send messages on Discord. Next, we will discuss how and where to see messages on Discord on your Discord desktop and mobile versions.

How To Send Messages on Discord

Discord allows you to message your Discord friends or text on a server you’ve joined. We will cover the steps for both instances.

Direct Messages

You can only send DMs to someone you’ve connected with on Discord and only if they have allowed it on their end. To connect with someone, you must send them a friend request.

Alternatively, you can DM someone on a given server, but if they have adjusted their privacy settings to block new messages from strangers, you can’t message them.

For Discord Desktop:

1. Open your Discord application.
2. Click the Discord home icon on the left sidebar.
3. A list of your Discord friends will appear.
4. Click on any of the friends to open the conversation window.
5. Type your message and send it.

For Discord Mobile:

1. Open your Discord mobile app.
2. Tap the three lines at the top left.
3. Tap the message icon.
4. On the “Direct Messages” window, tap on your target friend.
5. On the conversation window, type your message and send it.

Wait for a reply from your Discord friend to create your conversation.

Text Channel

When you create a server or join an existing server, you can text to engage with other server members. The process is the same using the mobile and desktop Discord application.

1. Open your Discord application.
2. Open the particular server.
3. Click on the text channel from those listed.
4. Once in the text channel, create your message and send it.

Every server member will see your message, and they can reply to it.
