Discord is a popular communication platform that allows users to chat, voice call, and video call with other users. Each user on Discord has a unique identifier called a "tag," which consists of their username followed by a "#" and a series of numbers. While tags can be useful for identifying users, you may find yourself wanting to remove your Discord tag for various reasons. In this article, we will discuss how to remove your Discord tag.
Step 1: Open Discord Settings
To begin, open the Discord application on your device and log in to your account. Once you are logged in, click on the gear icon located at the bottom left corner of the screen. This will open the Discord settings menu.
Step 2: Navigate to "My Account"
In the Discord settings menu, locate and click on the "My Account" tab. This tab contains various options related to your Discord account, including your username and tag.
Step 3: Modify your Username
Within the "My Account" tab, you will see your current username and tag displayed. To remove your tag, you will need to modify your username. Click on the edit icon next to your username to enable the editing mode.
Step 4: Remove the Tag
Once you are in the editing mode, you can remove the tag from your username. Simply delete the numbers following the "#" symbol. Make sure to leave the "#" symbol intact as it is required for Discord usernames. After removing the tag, you can choose to modify your username further if desired.
Step 5: Save Changes
After removing the tag from your username, click on the save button to apply the changes. Your Discord tag will now be removed, and your username will be updated accordingly.
It's important to note that while you can remove your Discord tag, it is not possible to change it to a specific desired tag. Discord assigns tags randomly to ensure uniqueness among users. Therefore, removing the tag will result in a randomized tag being assigned to your account.
Removing your Discord tag can be useful if you prefer a more anonymous presence on the platform or if you simply don't want the additional numbers in your username. Whatever your reason may be, following the steps outlined in this article will allow you to remove your Discord tag and modify your username to your liking.
