Discord’s newest feature lets you block other users on the platform without them knowing. The new ‘Ignore’ button works practically like a block function as it limits your interaction with the profile you choose to use it on. The person on the receiving end does not have any way of knowing that you have restricted their profile. This tool comes in handy when you want to block someone but don’t want to face the awkward confrontation when they figure it out. Here’s how you can ignore someone on Discord.

Ignore vs Block: Discord functions explained
Before we get into how you can ignore someone on Discord, let’s take a look at what this function does. This function is similar to muting someone on X (formerly Twitter) or restricting an Instagram profile. When you ignore someone on Discord, their messages are hidden from your screen. This includes DMs and messages sent by the user on mutual servers. Discord does not notify you about their messages. You can choose to individually unhide these texts and interact with them.
If you share a server with the ignored user, you won’t see their messages but some of their activity may still appear on the server’s feed. If you tap on their profile, Discord will display a warning message that the user is on your ignored list. If you’re about to join a group call, Discord will let you know beforehand whether the user you’ve ignored is a part of it. As opposed to blocking, ignoring someone does not change your friendship status with them. The user can view your messages and profile normally. There is no way for them to confirm that they have been blocked.
