From there, you’re able to accept the message or click Ignore to delete it.
First, let’s cover how to turn off Message Requests for a single server.
On the Discord desktop app or website, tap the server you want to receive direct DMs from.
Select Privacy configs and smack the slider next to Message Requests to disable it.
Then click Done to apply the changes.
All DMs you get from this server will now land directly in your texts.
If youre on your phone, try this instead.
On the Discord phone app, tap the server icon you want to disable message requests for.
Then tap-and-hold the icon to reveal a pop-up menu.
Select More Options and scroll down to server tweaks.
Find the toggle labeled Allow Message Requests and turn off the slider.
Turn Off Message Requests Everywhere
Now lets turn them off across all servers.
To disable Message Requests globally, youll need to go to User options first.
Under the User tweaks tab, head over to Privacy & Safety and scroll down to Server Privacy Defaults.
opt for toggle labeled Enable message requests from server requests you may not know to disable it.
Discord will prompt you with confirmation.
Confirm you want to apply this change across all existing servers by clicking Yes.
Head to Privacy & Safety and scroll down to Server Privacy Defaults.
Under Message Requests, turn off the toggle labeled Enable message requests from server requests you may not know.
To turn Message Requests back on, you just need to hit the toggle again.
Discord does warn that this global setting might not apply to all existing servers.
So you may have to tweak individual server controls to make it work.
But any servers you join in the future will have the Message Requests feature disabled by default.
Now you’ll never miss a DM again simply because you forgot to check your Message Requests tab.
