There’s nothing quite like going blind into chat and getting your fill of spoilers for the latest Final Fantasy XIV story update. Or maybe you’re tired of discussing the newest Indiana Jones movie in secret code. In cases like these, Discord censorship becomes your best friend; you can hide text and images to prevent your unsolicitedDiscord chatvisitors from being spoiled. It also sets a precedent that posts should always be filtered and edited so not everyone has to view them. So we’ve created a guide to teach all Discord users how to censor content on theirfavorite Android phoneand PC.
How to censor text on Discord
Instead of relying on a button to hide the text, Discord uses black bars to fully or partially cover the selected text. This section will show you how to censor your text.Note: We’ve performed steps on the Discord mobile app, but steps can be applied to the desktop version.
You can use the spoiler tag for all Discord chats, including Discord groups and private messages.
How to censor images on Discord
Thankfully Discord has tools to mark and hide images, similar to text. So we’ve included the steps on how to upload and censor your images on Discord mobile and PC.

How to censor pictures on the Discord desktop app
If you haven’t downloaded the Discord desktop app, it’s not necessary since the same procedure works with the Discord web version.
How to change censorship settings on Discord
you may change your settings on how you want to view marked content. By default, spoiler-tagged text and images will be hidden with black bars, and clicking or tapping them will reveal the tagged text/image.
Discord mobile users must sync these settings with the desktop or web versions. Currently, there is no way to customize your censorship on the Discord mobile app.
Protect your Discord chats
Unfortunately, Discord only has a few tools to keep spoilers and NSFW content at bay. To add to those tools, considerrecruiting bots on Discordand preparing a team ofmoderators to supervise Discord channels. Otherwise, keep to smaller group sizes and servers until rules become properly reinstated. Discord was originally aplatform for gamers, but now it’s become a place for anyone to socialize and mingle — running into sticky situations is only par for the course.
