How to Unfriend Someone on Discord? [PC and Mobile]

As today’s go-to online hub for everyone from gamers to digital artists, Discord had to implement reliable features for adding, managing, and removing friends.

So if you are wondering how to unfriend someone on Discord, it couldn’t be easier, and you can do it in a few clicks right from their profile or your ‘Friends’ list.

How to Unfriend Someone on Discord Desktop?

Deleting someone via the ‘Friends’ tab takes a couple of seconds:

2. Tap on the ‘Direct Messages’ button in the top-left corner (Discord icon);

3. Click on the ‘Friends’ tab (top-left) if it doesn’t immediately open;

4. Click on ‘All’ if you are not immediately taken there;

5. Right-click on the user’s name and tap ‘Remove Friend’;

6. Confirm you want this friend removed, and you’re done!

After completing these steps, the user’s name will disappear from your ‘Friends’ list, and you won’t see their direct messages pop up whenever they want to talk to you.

2. Unfriending users via their profile

You can also easily unfriend someone via their Discord profile, even though it involves an extra step that you do not have to take:

1. Right-click on the user’s profile image wherever you find it;
1. Such as Discord channels, ‘Friends’ list, direct messages, etc.
2. Click on ‘Profile’ to open their user profile flash card;
3. Tap on the three dots at the top-right and click ‘Remove Friend’.

How to Block Someone on Discord?

Now that you know how to unfriend people on Discord, let’s see how you can go that step further and block them (if and when they deserve it):

1. Open the user’s right-click context menu just as you did above;

• You can right-click their profile wherever you find it.

2. Tap on ‘Block’ (located next to the ‘Remove Friend’ option.

You can block someone even if you are not friends with them because unlike ‘Remove Friend’, this option is a platform-wide ignore option that hides their messages in servers you share and cuts all connection attempts, including messages, friend requests, and pings. If you connected already, the person will also be removed from your ‘Friends’ list.

Bottom Line

Unfriending someone on Discord is relatively straightforward, and you can do it either through your ‘Friends’ tab or via the person’s profile. After that, your name will disappear from their ‘Friends’ list, and their messages will end up in your ‘Message Requests’ tab. But, if you prefer not to get any future prompts, you can also block the user.
