How to Remove Friends from Discord: A Comprehensive Guide for Desktop and Mobile Users

If you're using Discord, there may come a time when you need to remove a friend from your friend list. Whether you're using the Desktop or Mobile application, the process is straightforward. This article will guide you through every step of the way, ensuring you can easily manage your Discord friend list effectively.

Removing Friends on the Discord Desktop Application

Managing your friend list on Discord's desktop application is a breeze. Follow these simple steps to remove a friend from your list:

Launch the Discord desktop application on your computer.

Locate and click on the Discord logo, which is usually found in the left sidebar. This action will expand the side panel.

In the side panel, find and click on the 'Friends' tab, typically located in the upper-left corner.

At the top of the Friends tab, click on the 'All' option. This will display all of your friends, regardless of their category (e.g., Online, Idle, AFK, et al).

Type in the name of the friend you wish to remove into the search bar located at the top of the list. You can also scroll through the list to find their name.

Once you locate the friend, click on 'Remove Friend' to de-associate them from your friend list. The friend will no longer appear in your Friends tab.

The friend you removed will no longer be visible in your Discord friend list!

Removing Friends on the Discord Mobile App

If you're using the Discord mobile application, the process is equally simple. Here's how you can remove a friend:

Open the Discord mobile app on your device.

Tap on the 'Friends' icon, which is usually located at the bottom of the app's main screen.

Scroll through your list of friends to locate the one you wish to remove.

Swipe left on the friend's profile picture or status icon. This will bring up more options.

Select 'Remove Friend' from the menu that appears. Confirmed by a pop-up, the friend will now be removed from your list.

Remember, if you've ever added them back using Discord's desktop or mobile app, you'll need to perform the removal again.

Tips and Additional Considerations

While removing a friend from your Discord list is a common task, there are a few additional points to consider:

For your removed friend, they will need to use the 'Friend Requests' tab in their Discord app to manage which friends they want to add to their list.

If someone finds your Discord friend list amusing, consider turning off the 'Friends List' feature in your privacy settings to avoid showing your list of friends to everyone.

Should you need to revoke the removal and add the friend back, you can always do so through the method used initially (either the Desktop app or Mobile app).

In conclusion, managing your Discord friend list has never been easier, and these steps will help you efficiently maintain your list. Whether you're on the desktop or mobile app, you can easily remove friends without disrupting the overall functionality of your Discord experience.
