How to Turn Off Notifications on Discord

Discord notifications help to inform with the recent updates, but they may also become distracting. However, Discord allows you to disable notifications, which is good news. You can disable Discord notifications in many ways and this guide will teach you how to do so.

If you want to turn off notifications on your smartphone, follow these steps. Take note that smartphones from different manufacturers have different Settings configurations; double-check them before making any changes.

Follow the steps below to disable Discord notifications on your device and to the entire server:

1. STEP 1

   Open the Discord app, then select the server you want to mute from the Discord mobile app’s left panel.

2. STEP 2

   Tap the three-dotted icon that appears at the top of the screen.

   

3. STEP 3

   After that, tap the Bell button. This will bring up Notification settings on your screen.

   

4. STEP 4

   Finally, to mute the server’s notifications, go to Settings > Notifications and tap Mute server.

5. STEP 5

   The notification settings will be the same as those on the desktop version.

   

All the steps for Android above may be applied to iPhones, as the Discord Mobile app is not platform-specific. On your iOS device, disable notifications by following the methods outlined on Android above.

Perhaps, you want to mute channels of a Discord server rather than muting the entire server. To disable notification from a specific channel, follow these steps:

1. STEP 1

   In your Discord app, tap “Server.”

2. STEP 2

   To temporarily mute a channel, right-click the channel that you would like to mute, then click Mute channel from the menu that appears.

3. STEP 3

   Select the Time duration from the drop-down menu. Choose how many minutes or hours you would like to mute the notification or prefer the turn it off manually option.

   

4. STEP 4

   To stop getting notifications from a particular channel, follow these steps:

5. STEP 5

   Click server and channel you want to disable notifications.

6. STEP 6

   To mute all channel notifications, click the Bell icon that appears in the top-right corner.

   

7. STEP 7

   A red line will now appear on the bell symbol, which means that the channel is muted. For all the channels you wish to mute, repeat the same steps.

   Note: To unmute click the Bell icon again.

You may want to filter out some bothersome users on the entire server or specific channels.

Block them is the most basic option. You will no longer get any notifications if they @ mention you, and all of their messages is being hidden on any server you share (you can read the conversation at any time, but you must click a “Show message” button to view them).

To block someone on the desktop, right-click their username and click “Block.”

To block someone in the mobile app, tap their username and then the three dots at the top-right corner of the menu that appears. Then choose “Block” from the menu.

You can mute a user if you don’t want to go as far as blocking them. This will allow the user to contact you, but you won’t get notifications whenever they send you a direct message.

Here’s how to mute specific Discord users:

1. STEP 1

   On the Discord app, click the Server icon.

2. STEP 2

   To mute a user, right-click on the name of the specific person you wish to mute and select Mute from the menu.

   

3. STEP 3

   Unless you manually turn it off, the user you have selected will stay muted. You may set it up for as many people as you wish.

After you’ve muted certain users, you won’t receive any more notifications from that user. But you will still get notified by other players on the server.

If you’re using Windows for your Discord desktop app, you may turn off notification messages by following the steps below:

How To Mute Server Notifications

Here’s how to turn off notifications from the entire Discord server on your Windows:

1. STEP 1

   Right-click on the server you want to mute. On the left side Discord screen, you’ll find a menu with Discord client icons.

2. STEP 2

   Click “Notification Settings” from the drop-down menu.

   

3. STEP 3

   You’ll be given a menu of choices to pick from that may influence how mute works on the server. These are the options:

   Mute Server: If you select this option, all server notifications will be disabled. You’ll be allowed to turn off notification for 15 minutes, an hour, eight hours, 24 hours, or until you manually mute the device.

   

   Notification Overrides: You can make exemptions to any mute settings you create for the server from this option. Setting notification override for text channels, for example, will allow that channel to pop up even if you’ve muted everything on.

   

   Mobile Push Notifications: If you turn on this option, any mentions you allow will be sent to your phone if you’ve linked it to your Discord profile.

   

   Suppress All role @mentions: All notifications will be muted, including those with terms “admin” or “mod,” as well as any others you wish to exclude.

   

   Suppress @everyone and @here: If you select this option, notifications that contain the @everyone or @here command will be muted. The command “@everybody” sends out a notification to all members of the current server. The command “@here” sends out a notification to everyone currently online on the same server.

   

   Server Notifications Settings: You can choose which types of notifications you will be alerted to by using these settings. All messages will notify you about everything that has occurred on the server. You will only receive messages that have been specifically addressed to you via @mentions. Everything is disabled if you select nothing

   

This is how Discord notifications for everyone on the server can be muted. When you mute everyone on Discord, you will not receive a single pop-up notification on your Windows PC.

If you use Discord on a Mac, the procedure for turning off Discord notifications is just the same as those described under Windows OS. You can disable Discord notifications on your Mac if you wish. Here’s how to disable them:

1. STEP 1

   In the Apple menu, click System Preferences.

2. STEP 2

   Then click the Notifications.

3. STEP 3

   Select Do Not Disturb or DND from the drop-down menu in the sidebar.

4. STEP 4

   Select a time period from the menu.

   

The notifications will be accessible in Notification Center.

If you use the Discord App for a mobile, you may change your notification settings by the following steps:

1. STEP 1

   Tap the name of a server icon on the left side of your Discord app screen.

2. STEP 2

   On the device’s screen, tap on the menu symbol. It’s a three-dots icon.

3. STEP 3

   To access Notifications Settings, tap the bell icon

   

4. STEP 4

   You can also turn off Desktop Notifications if you don’t want any notifications from the app.

   

5. STEP 5

   You’ll need to turn off Discord’s push notifications on your phone. On most devices, this is found in the general settings menu.

Discord will notify you of any particular DMs from your registered email notifications when you’re offline. While these are very useful, they may also be a little aggravating since they add to the number of emails in your inbox. Fortunately, these can be disabled by following these steps:

1. STEP 1

   Open the email notification that Discord has sent you.

2. STEP 2

   Locate the option to turn off notifications on the email message itself. These are usually in the body of the message and at the bottom of the email.

3. STEP 3

   After you confirm that you don’t want email updates, you will no longer receive them.
