If you’re reporting a comment or chat to an admin, mod or to Discord themselves, you will likely be asked for the message ID. It’s a small thing but if you’re a moderator or something I guess it could come in useful.

You should see a panel on the right showing all their chats over the session.

Paste the ID in the search bar to see their chats.

Paste the ID in the search bar at the top of the Discord app to see their chats.

Right click a username in chat or channel list.

You cannot perform a search outside of a channel or server using User ID as far as I know. If you have someone’s Discord User ID, you can find them and their messages from within the desktop app to show their activity within a channel. It should be a similar 18 digit number to your own ID. Select Copy ID and paste it somewhere to see it in the clear. Right click their username, only this time, you can only do it in the channel list on the right. I hope it’s the same for you! Identify someone else’s Discord User IDĪs well as finding out your own Discord User ID, you can also identify the ID of other users. I will hopefully go many more years without needing to see it again. I have used Discord for years now and have never needed to see or know my User ID.

Long press your username in chat or channel list.

Right click your username in chat or channel list.

Paste it somewhere to see it in the clear. To find your own Discord User ID, you just need to right click your own name in chat or in a channel list and select Copy ID. You will need it to begin accessing IDs for things which is why we need it enabled. This is just a setting that gives you a little more access to the back-end of Discord. This isn’t like a Firestick where having developer mode enabled will leave you open to hacking.

Select Developer Mode and tap it to on.Select the User Icon at bottom of the screen.Scroll to Developer Mode and toggle it to on.Select the gear icon by your username to access User Settings.To be able to identify your Discord User ID you need to have Developer Mode enabled on your app. If you have ever seen audit logs or had to explain something around a particular chat, it will have been identified by these IDs. It is used by the system’s back-end to process your chat and voice and to create logs of everything you do. The Discord User ID is a numerical string that is unique to every user.
