How to Know if Someone Read Your Message on Discord

There are a number of interesting features in Discord that simplifies interacting with friends and acquaintances. Instead, Discord does not offer a function that indicates whether the recipient has seen your message. You can only tell if someone has seen your message when they reply to it. The purpose of this article is to clarify how to know if someone read your message on Discord.

If we are texting someone, whether on Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook, we are always curious if the other person has read our messages. Many people start to overthink what might have offended the other person in their text if they have not replied.

Because of this, most apps with chatting features also have read receipts. These notifications can be turned off on WhatsApp, but the rest of the apps always let us know if our messages have been seen.

We will discuss Discord, another social media platform, today.

Keep reading to learn if Discord has read the receipts feature and how to know if someone read your message on Discord.

Additionally, we will show you how you can DM your friends on this platform, both on Android and iOS.

Can You Find out If Someone Read Your Message on Discord?

There is no way to know if someone reads your Discord message. Discord lacks a “read receipt” feature at this time. We have good news, too.

Almost a year ago, in February 2020, a Discord user tweeted “@discordapp Would you like an icon that shows whether you read your message?”. We can use that feature.”

Despite the slightly off grammar, it is clear that this user is talking about reading receipts.

Discord app’s Twitter account replied to this, saying:

“Read receipts are a pretty popular suggestion! Make sure to upvote this idea on our feedback page, so it stays on our dev team’s radar!” (“dev” stands for Developer(s).

Despite seeing the comment and replying to it, Discord has yet to act on it. We are hoping that this feature will be available in the next update.

How to Send Message to Someone on Discord

While we wait for this feature to be added to Discord, let us discuss how you can send someone a DM in the first place.

You already know that Discord servers are used for communication between users while they are gaming. If, however, you want to connect with someone who isn’t your friend, what should you do? How will you reach out to them?

You can simply send them a Direct Message for this. Direct Messages are sent to anyone on Discord, even if they are not your friends. You can easily have a private conversation with them as long as you’re both on the same server.

(Note: Some users keep their DM settings on “Friends Only.” If the person you are trying to contact is not a friend on Discord, then you will have to send them a friend request and hope that they accept it.)

You will learn how to send a DM to someone from Android and iOS in this section.

First, let’s talk about how to send a DM to a friend on Discord:

Log in to your Discord account using the Discord app on your smartphone.
You will see the All tab in the top-left corner of the screen. Select it.
When you do this, a list of all your friends on the app will appear. Click on the avatar of the friend you wish to text here.
Select the Chat/Message button to send them a DM.
Enter your message and click Send. You’re done. Now you can easily send a message to one of your friends on Discord.

Now let’s talk about how you can send a message to someone who isn’t your friend, but a member of your server.

Log in to your Discord account on your smartphone and open the app.
Select the server where the person you wish to talk to is. Tap on the icon that looks like two people.
You will then see a list of all the users on the server. Click on the avatar of the user you wish to speak with.
There are several options, including Profile, Mention, Message, and Call. Select Message.
Enter the message you want to send, and hit Send.

Conclusion

How to know if someone read your message on Discord? Actually, you cannot know. Users of Discord often wonder if anyone reads their messages. However, that functionality does not exist and we cannot know unless the recipient responds. The consequences may not always be bad, but anxiety, tension, and self-doubt may result. It is important for us to take into consideration other people’s circumstances rather than focus solely on our own.

We discussed how you can send DMs to your friends on Discord using both Android and iOS devices. We have also provided you with step-by-step instructions on how to send DMs to people who are not your friends but are members of your server.

We also told you that you cannot DM someone who is neither your friend nor a member of your server. However, you can send them a friend request, and if they know you, they will definitely accept it. Let us know in the comments if our blog helped you.
