How to disable discord notifications on desktop and mobile?

You can disable discord notifications on a server-by-server or by user-by-user basis. Turning off the notifications from the channel means you won’t get the alert to unread messages. Under the settings, you can not only turn off the desktop notifications but also the message alert sounds. Check the article for the complete instructions how to disable discord notifications.

Discord offers you many features for disabling notifications. You can just disable the notifications from individual people or servers or can turn off any sort of notification sound or icon. Below are the different ways how you can turn off the Discord notifications.

Turn off notifications for specific user

In order to stop receiving any notifications from a particular user, you have two options. You can block them. This will stop you from receiving any notifications as well as hide every message they send in any server you share.

In order to block someone on desktop, open the user profile and right click on the username and then select “Block” option. In mobile, tap on the username, and then click on the three dots on the top-right and then tap on the Block option.

However, if you don’t want to go far as blocking, you can mute them instead. This will let them message you, and you will also see their messages, but you won’t receive any notifications when they message you directly.

You can mute any person on Discord Desktop app by navigating to your private message with them and right-clicking to their name in the left sidebar. Upon that, you will see the option Mute from the drop-down menu. Pick how long you would like to mute them for.
