How do you delete both sides chat on Discord?

To delete both sides of a chat on Discord, you can right click on the chat, then click “Delete Message”. You will be given the option to delete the message “For Everyone”, which when selected, will delete both your message, as well as any replies.

Keep in mind that this action is irreversible, so make sure you really want to delete the messages before confirming. You can also delete messages in bulk by selecting the messages you want to delete, then right clicking and selecting “Delete Message” again.

With this method, you can delete up to 100 messages in a single operation.

How do I delete a whole Discord DM?

Unfortunately it is not possible to delete a Discord Direct Message (DM) entirely – however you can delete individual messages within the DM conversation. If a user has sent you a particularly offensive or harassing message in either a channel or a DM, you can report the user and they will be dealt with as appropriate by the Discord team.

To delete an individual message within a DM conversation, head to the conversation in question, and click on the three vertical dots beside the respective message. In the menu that pops up, click on the ‘Delete’ option and this will delete the message.

If multiple messages need to be deleted, you can press on and hold the shift key while clicking on the specific messages, and this will enable you to delete multiple messages in one go.

Note that deleting a message will only delete it from your end, and the recipient will still be able to view the deleted messages.

Can you delete DMs sent to you on Discord?

Yes, you can delete direct messages (DMs) that are sent to you from other users on Discord. To do this, open the conversation where the message was sent, then hover your mouse over the message you want to delete, and click the three vertical dots that appear in the top right corner of the message.

This will bring up a few options: Delete (to delete this message only), Copy (to copy the text from the message), and Quote (to cite the message in a new conversation). You can select Delete and the message will be removed.

Note that this action is irreversible and you won’t be able to recover the deleted message. It is also important to note that if you delete the message, it won’t affect the other user’s view of the conversation.

Can you Delete Discord messages for everyone?

Yes, you can delete messages for everyone in Discord. To delete a message for everyone in a chat, you must be the author of the message or a server administrator. To delete the message, right-click on the message and select “Delete Message” from the drop-down menu.

You’ll then be prompted to confirm that you want to delete the message. If you confirm the deletion, the message will be removed from the chat and all other users in the chat will see that the message was deleted.

It is important to note that messages deleted for everyone can’t be recovered and all reactions to the message will be removed as well.

What happens if I close a DM on Discord?

When you close a DM on Discord, the conversation will typically be archived and stored in your local Discord client. It will not be visible to other users. However, the conversation can be accessed at any time by either user.

This makes it easy to pick up the conversation again at a later time, without having to start a new conversation. Additionally, if you have allowed server members to send you DMs, then closing the DM will prevent any further messages from being sent to you.

Do Discord chats expire?

No, Discord chats do not currently expire. All conversations on Discord are stored securely on the server, so even after the chat window is closed, the conversation is still kept and searchable. However, when it comes to servers and channels, administrators have the ability to set a message retention limit and auto-delete messages that are older than the set number of days.

Additionally, users are able to pin messages that they would like remain visible, as well as delete individual messages they don’t want stored. In summary, while users are able to set up their servers to automatically delete old messages, chats never expire due to not being on a time-based system, like Snapchat or iMessage.

Are Discord conversations private?

Discord conversations are generally considered private, but the privacy of any particular conversation depends on the server settings and user permissions. When joining a Discord server, the default privacy settings make all conversations visible to all users in the server, but server owners and moderators have the ability to customize these settings to allow only certain users – or even certain channels – to view conversations.

For example, a server owner can create private channels where only specific users can view and post messages. Additionally, users can also create private groups within a server, which are only visible to the group members.

Ultimately, the privacy of any particular conversation on Discord depends on the server settings and user permissions.

Can you see discord chat history?

Yes, you can view your Discord chat history. Depending on your settings, you have the ability to view conversations from the last few seconds, minutes, hours, days, or even weeks. To access your chat history, open your Discord application and log in.

Then, select the chatroom you wish to view the history of. If you’re not sure which chatroom you’re looking for, you can use the search bar to locate it. Once you have opened the chatroom, you will be able to scroll up and view the chat history.

Additionally, if you want to make sure that this option is enabled, you can navigate to the settings and check that the “Save Chat History” option is enabled.
