An Informative Guide to Use Spoiler Tags on Discord

Key Operations:-

Discord is one of the most popular platforms for connecting with various like-minded communities. A VoIP, instant messaging, and digital distribution platform, Discord is uniquely designed for users to communicate via voice calls, video calls, or the exchange of texts, media, and files in private conversations. Apart from these useful features, this messaging app offers many other features that are not seen in other chat platforms. One of the recently added useful features is the Spoiler tag.

If you’ve never used spoiler tags before, they can be very helpful if you engage in frequent conversations on Discord.

Using a spoiler tag with a message or image will block its content from being seen by anyone except those who click on the blocked message. By clicking on the message, you will see the content.

This is what the spoiler tag looks like:

The part of the message that is hidden here is made with the spoiler tag. So you can also use the spoiler tag for the whole message or just a part of it.
