Do you have an image on your phone you want to share in a Discord server, but the image might be spoiler-y? Or perhaps you've got a link to send on your phone but you're worried the automatic image embed might show some content some of the server members don't want to see. In this article, we'll teach you how to spoiler images and link embeds on Discord mobile.

Things You Should Know

  • After adding an image to your message, tap or long-press it and check the "Mark as spoiler" box to spoiler tag the image.
  • To spoiler tag a link with an image embed, type || on either side of the URL to spoiler the link.
  • Alternatively, you can put < and > around a link to remove the embed entirely.

    Several options will appear in the pop-up below the image.

    It's between the Remix and Remove file options. You may have to scroll slightly to see this option.
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/5b\/Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5b\/Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-5.jpg\/v4-728px-Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    The photo will now be grayed out with a white eye symbol over it. This signifies the image has been spoilered. [1]
    • If you're sending multiple images in the message, you'll have to mark each one as a spoiler individually.
  6. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/6b\/Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/6b\/Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-6.jpg\/v4-728px-Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Send your message with the image attached, and it will have the spoiler filter over it.

    When you send a link, it will automatically send an embed. If the embedded image is a spoiler, you can spoil it with Discord's text spoiler tags.
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/10\/Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/10\/Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-8.jpg\/v4-728px-Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

    The message should look like ||[link url]|| and the link should be highlighted in gray to signify it is going to be spoilered.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/4b\/Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-10.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/4b\/Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-10.jpg\/v4-728px-Spoiler-an-Image-on-Discord-Mobile-Step-10.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    The link will be spoiled with a black spoiler filter, and the image will be spoiled with Discord's blurred image spoiler filter.
    • Alternatively, you can send the link surrounded by < and > to remove the preview embed. The link would then look like <[link url]> before you send it.
