Do you want to send a message in Discord that keeps changing from text to emoji automatically? For example, when you type a text smiley face :), Discord will automatically change your emoticon into an emoji. To prevent this from happening, turn off Auto-Emoji to make sure your text goes through as you intend! This How.com.vn article teaches you how to turn off Auto-Emoji in Discord.
Things You Should Know
- Open the Discord app, click the gear icon, go to "Chat", and toggle off "Automatically convert emoticons in your messages to emoji."
- The mobile app doesn't have this toggle, so you can use a web browser to see the toggle or the desktop app on your computer.
- Alternatively, enter a backslash before your text that has an emoticon in it, like "\:)".
Steps
Open Discord. Click the app that looks like a controller icon.- You can use this method for the desktop app for Windows and Mac computers.
- Since this toggle isn't in the mobile app, you can use this method to turn off auto-emoji on your Android, iPad, and iPhone as well.
Click. This gear icon is next to your Discord profile picture at the bottom of your screen.
- User Settings will open.
