Using Spoilers on Text Messages on Discord Mobile?
There are two main methods that can be applied to put spoilers on text messages on Discord mobile which are mentioned below:
- Method 1: Put Spoilers on Text Messages Using Vertical Bars (||)
- Method 2: Put Spoilers on Text Messages Using the Spoiler Tag (/spoiler)
Method 1: Put Spoilers on Text Messages Using Vertical Bars (||)
You can put spoilers and hide your messages by placing two vertical bars “||” on each side of the text. For example, if you want to put a spoiler on the text “Welcome to Its Linux Foss”, then you can do that by writing “||Welcome to Its Linux Foss||”.
Step 1: Open the Contact or a Server
First, launch the Discord application from your mobile phone and open that contact or a server where you want to send the spoiler text message:
Step 2: Open the Chat Box of a Server or a Contact
Now, before writing any message, you need to first open the chat box either of any server or contact where you want to send the spoiler message:
Step 3: Write a Message Inside the Vertical Bars
Before writing any messages, you should first place two vertical bars by pressing the “|” key from your keyboard:
After writing two vertical bars you need to write a message and again place two vertical bars at the end of the message. For instance, we have used “||Welcome to Its Linux Foss||” message:
Now, you can see the black box appearing that hides the message which indicates that a spoiler on the text has been successfully created:
Step 4: Read the Spoiler Message
To read this spoiler message, you need to click or tap on it and the message text will be revealed:
Method 2: Put Spoilers on Text Messages Using the Spoiler Tag
To put the spoilers on Discord text messages by utilizing the spoiler tag, follow the below steps.
Step 1: Open the Chat Box of Server or a Contact
As previously discussed, you need to first open the chat box of a server or a contact as below:
Step 2: Write a Spoiler Tag
Now, you need to write the spoiler tag on the chat box which can be done by first pressing the backslash key “/” from the keyboard:
This will provide you the option to choose a variety of different Discord tags. Write the name of the spoiler by typing “/spoiler” to choose spoiler tag:
Step 3: Write Your Message With the Spoiler Tag
When you type “/spoiler” on the chat box, you need to press the spacebar and then it allows you to write your message as shown below:
When you send your message it will be hidden in a black colored box, and you can reveal that message by clicking on it:
This is how you can easily put spoilers in your text message by following any of the two methods discussed above.
Using Spoiler on Attachments
Spoilers can also be placed on the attachments such as images and the process to do that has been discussed below.
Step 1: Open the Chat Box of Server or a Contact

Step 2: Select the Image
In this step, first, click on the “+” signs which are used to add attachments and can be found on the bottom left:
Next, you need to select an image from your gallery that you want to attach:
Step 3: Put a Spoiler on the Image
After attaching the image, you need to tap on the image, and this will provide you the option to put a spoiler on it:
Check the spoiler option by tapping on the box and then you will notice that the attached image is now hidden:
Step 4: Send You Spoiler Image
No one would be able to see the spoiler image when you send it as it will be displayed like that as shown below:
If you want to see that image, then you need to tap or click on it and the image will be revealed.
Tips for Using Spoilers on Discord Mobile
Here are some tips for using spoilers on Discord mobile effectively:
- Use Spoilers when Necessary: Spoilers should only be used when necessary, such as when discussing a significant plot point or ending.
- Warn Others of Spoilers: Before sending a message that contains spoilers, it’s a good idea to warn others in advance. This can help us to prevent accidental exposure to spoilers.
- Don’t Spoil Anything in the Message Title: Even if you use the spoiler feature in the message itself, it’s still a good idea not to include any spoilers in the message title.
- Respect Others: Just because you’ve already experienced something doesn’t mean everyone else has. Be respectful of others and keep spoilers hidden until they’re ready to see them.
This is how you can put a spoiler on text messages or on the attachments.
Conclusion
Putting spoilers on Discord mobile is a straightforward process that can help prevent accidental information that some don’t want to listen to or see. You can either put spoilers on text messages as well as on media files as well such as images. To put spoilers on the messages you can either place your text message in between the vertical bars “||” or use the spoiler tag method “/spoiler”. On images, we can check the spoiler option.
