Edit a Message in Discord on Android
This wikiHow teaches you how to edit a message you posted to a Discord channel when you’re using an Android.

- Select a channel. Channels are listed in the main panel of Discord.
- Tap ⁝. It’s at the top-right corner of the screen. A pop-up menu will appear.
- Tap Search.
- Type your own username into the Search box. As you can only edit your own messages, this will help you find the one you’re looking for.
- Once you start typing your username, some search results should appear where you’re typing. Select your own username when you see it to quickly add it to the search box.
- Tap the magnifying glass icon. It’s at the bottom-right corner of the screen. This displays messages you’ve sent.
- Tap the message you want to edit. Now you’ll see it in a window titled “Preview Chat.”
- Tap Jump to Chat. It’s the blue button at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap and hold the message you want to edit. You may have to scroll up to the top of the screen to find it. A pop-up window will appear.

- Edit your message. Tap the message box to launch your Android’s keyboard, then make your changes.
- Tap the send button. It’s the paper airplane on the right side of the message box. This posts your edited message to the channel. The word “edited” will appear beside the message in parentheses.
