If you’re figuring out how to mute someone on Discord for a few hours or forever, we have you covered right here.
Now, if you are receiving too many DMs, you might want to mute a few users. Much like the term suggests, when you mute a user, you are choosing not to get notified when they send you messages. On Discord, you can mute your friends for a few minutes, a few hours, a few days, or until you unmute them.
For some, muting a profile can be a better alternative to blocking people on Discord – muting only blocks notifications, while blocking prevents the user from sending you messages or add you as a friend.
With that being said, you can easily mute a profile on Discord. In this guide, we have shown what the process looks like on mobile and PC.
Quick Answer
To mute someone on Discord: Go to the ‘Friends’ tab > Look for the profile > hover on the profile > right-click on mouse > click on ‘Mute @user’ > choose a duration

What happens if I mute someone on Discord?
When you mute a user on Discord, the app does not notify you when you get new messages from that user. After you mute a user, the profile will appear faded out. The user that you have muted won’t be notified that they have been muted.
Conclusion
