Community Q&A
- QuestionWhen I delete a message in a DM, does it delete it for both parties? Or can the other person still see all the messages unless they delete it too?
Community AnswerYes, it deletes it for them too. I tested this with pictures so it should work the same with text. - QuestionWill they know that it was me that deleted a message on Discord?
Community AnswerNo, they won't. My friend deleted a message and it didn't tell me anything was deleted, the message just disappeared. - QuestionHow do I delete images?
Tim NewmanCommunity AnswerIn exactly the same way as messages, except pressing on the image itself does not work and you will have to long-press slightly above the image.
