On Discord, how do you turn off auto-emoji?

Discord has long been the preferred gaming service, but since the pandemic, it has also gained popularity with regular users. Auto Emojis, one of the service’s native features that seems to be garnering a lot of attention, is one of the many customization options.

With the help of this feature, you can automatically detect and change character-based smileys in your chat to emojis. This can be difficult for users who care about their privacy, so here’s how to turn it off in Discord.

What Are Emojis?

Emojis are tiny images that can be used to convey feelings or concepts. On social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, they are frequently used as well as in text messages.

Emojis can be used by some people to have amusing and inventive conversations with friends, family, and other people. Others use them to express their feelings of sadness, joy, or rage.

Emojis are automatically supported in Discord conversations. However, some users might not want to use emojis or might want to turn off the auto emoji feature if they find emojis annoying or unnecessary.

How to disable auto-emoji on Discord is demonstrated in this article.

On A Phone Or Computer, Can I Disable Auto Emojis?

On mobile devices, it is currently not possible to turn off Auto Emojis. Both on the app and the website. Discord’s desktop application is the only place where you can choose to turn off Auto Emojis.

Turn Off Auto Emojis On Discord For Single Messages

Sometimes you want to send a text emoji but you don’t want to completely turn off emoji support on Discord. It’s simple to turn off the auto-emoji feature for individual messages.

Simply type a backslash {\} and then type your emoticon. So, like this:

By telling Discord to ignore the auto-emoji feature in that specific instance, you can use any emoticon you want without having to fiddle with the settings or turn off the feature all at once.

Turn Off Auto Emoji On Discord On PC

To disable auto-emojis, use a specific setting in the Discord desktop client. The following is how to apply it:

1. Activate the Discord desktop application on your computer.

2. Click on the Settings icon at the bottom.

3. Click on the Text & images option from the left sidebar. Turn off the toggle next to ‘Automatically convert emoticons in your messages to emoji‘.

Send a smiley again. No graphical emoji will be created from it. Use the same procedures on the Discord website to disable the auto-emoji feature if you use the Discord web app.

The automatic emoji feature for all smileys will be disabled using the method described above. What happens if you want Discord to convert all smileys to emojis but a select few? There is a different approach for that. Simply start the smiley with a backslash (\).

As an illustration, if you need to send:), send it like \:). Likewise, repeat the process for any other faces you don’t want to become emojis.

Turn Off Auto Emoji On Discord On Mobile

Unfortunately, the Discord app doesn’t allow you to turn off auto-emojis if you’re using a mobile device. This gives you two options:

1. Change it from a PC
2. Use your mobile device to access Discord in a web browser.

Although these choices are straightforward, not everyone has access to a PC. You must therefore use Discord in your mobile browser.

However, you can’t just go to the website and use the browser version of Discord if you want to use it on your phone to open Discord in a web browser. This is due to the fact that Discord’s website prompts you to download the app from the app store when you access it using a mobile web browser, which Discord detects you are using.

Instead, you’ll need to activate Desktop mode when you’re on the Discord website in your mobile browser.

In your mobile web browser, first navigate to the Discord website. The steps should be similar in any other browser, but we’ll demonstrate them in Google Chrome.

Now switch to desktop mode. To put it in Desktop mode, tap the three dots in the top-right corner of the screen to bring up the settings menu.

Now tap on the Desktop site option.

Now you’ll see the Open Discord in your browser button. Go up to the top-right part of the page and tap on the Login button.

After that, log in to Discord and proceed as before.
