What Happens When You Unfriend Someone on Discord

Before we show you how to unfriend someone on Discord, you should learn the implications of your actions and take steps accordingly. Here are some of the frequently asked questions from Discord users.

How Do You Know If Someone Removed You as a Friend on Discord?

While Discord doesn’t notify you when someone removes you from their friend list, you can use a neat trick to confirm your friendship status. First, you can’t find the person on your friend’s list. Even if you search for the contact by their username and send a message, you will see the Add Friend option instead of the Send Message option. It confirms that you have been removed as a friend by the person.

Does Discord Notify the Person?

Discord doesn’t notify the user about your action when you remove a friend from Discord. It’s a privacy feature, and Discord ensures that your actions remain private. However, the person can always make an educated guess about being removed from your friend list.

Can the Person Access My Servers?

If you don’t want your specific friends to access your servers, remove them from your friends list, and they can no longer be part of your servers on the platform.

Unfriending Someone on Discord Also Deletes Chat History?

The app doesn’t touch your chat history when unfriending someone on Discord. Your chat history remains accessible on both sides. If you want to hide the chat history with the person, right-click on the conversation and select Close DM. Your chat history with the contact disappeared from the DM menu.

Can the Personal Send Direct Messages?

When you remove a friend on Discord, the person canno longer send a direct message. When the person tries to send a message, the app instead asks to send a friend request again.
