To get your way or play a prank on friends, faking messages on Discord can be pretty handy. Using Inspect Element in Developer Tools, you can quickly change nicknames, usernames, times, and message text. Learn how to do this with Google Chrome ! Other browsers have slightly different buttons to push, but the process should be similar.

Best Way to Create Fake Discord Messages

In Discord, click the three vertical dots in the top right and go to "More Tools" > "Developer tools." Click the curser in the top left and select on the text you want to edit. Double-click the text element with the message and press the delete key. Replace the empty space with your fake message.
