To block people on Discord mobile, open the user’s profile from a direct message, your Friends list, or a server member list, tap the three-dot menu, and select Block. This action is the same on both iPhone and Android, as Discord’s official mobile instructions do not separate steps by device.
How to block people on Discord mobile: The three official paths
Discord documents three main paths to block a user on mobile: from a direct message, from the Friends list, or from a server member list. Each path follows the same core action, open the user’s profile, tap the three-dot menu, and select Block.
Block someone from a direct message
To block someone from a direct message on Discord mobile:
- Open the Discord mobile app and navigate to your direct messages.
- Tap the conversation with the user you want to block.
- Tap the user’s profile picture or their @Username to open their profile.
- Tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
- Select Block.
This prevents the user from sending you any further direct messages or seeing your online status.
Block someone from your Friends list
To block someone from your Friends list on Discord mobile:
- Open the Discord mobile app and go to the Friends tab.
- Tap the profile of the person you want to block.
- Select Block.
Blocking from the Friends list is useful for Discord user and server management when you want to stop receiving friend requests or messages from a specific contact.
Block someone in a server
To block someone in a server on Discord mobile:
- Open the Discord mobile app and navigate to a channel in the server where the user is active.
- Tap the channel name at the top of the screen to open the Members list.
- Find and tap the user you want to block.
- Select Block.
Alternatively, you can tap the user’s @Username in any message to open their profile, then tap the three dots and select Block.
What happens after you block someone
Blocked users cannot message you, see your online status, or add you as a friend. Blocking is discreet, Discord does not notify the other person that you have blocked them. Note that blocking only affects your direct interactions; a blocked user can still see your messages in public channels or group conversations where both of you are present. Blocking someone on Discord Mobile does not prevent them from seeing your posts in public channels or participating in group conversations where both of you are present.
How to see and unblock users
To view your list of blocked users on Discord mobile, go to Settings, then Privacy & Safety, and tap Blocked Users. To manage blocked users in a specific server, go to that server's Settings > Privacy & Safety > Blocked Messages section. For full instructions on unblocking, see the sibling page “How To See Blocked Users On Discord Mobile.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I block someone on Discord mobile without opening a chat?
Yes. You can block someone directly from your Friends list or from a server’s member list without opening a direct message conversation.
Does blocking someone on Discord mobile remove them from shared servers?
No. Blocking a user does not remove them from servers you both belong to. You will simply stop seeing their messages in those servers unless you also mute or leave the server.
Will a blocked person know I blocked them on mobile?
Discord does not send a notification when you block someone. The blocked user may eventually notice they cannot message you or see your online status, but the app does not explicitly inform them.
Can I block someone on Discord mobile if I only know their username?
Yes. You can search for the user in the Friends list or in a server’s member list using their username, then follow the blocking steps from their profile.
Is there a limit to how many people I can block on Discord mobile?
Discord’s official documentation does not list a limit for blocked users on mobile. The feature is available for all accounts without a documented cap.
How do I report a user on Discord mobile?
When reporting a user, you can provide evidence such as screenshots or chat logs. Discord Support may take time to investigate reports due to high volume. To contact Discord Support on mobile: Settings > Help & Support > Contact Us, which redirects to Discord's support website to submit a ticket.
