Why Remove Friends on Discord?
There are several reasons you might want to remove friends:

It’s important to note that removing a friend doesn’t notify them, making it a discreet way to manage your connections.
How to Unfriend Someone on Discord Mobile

If you are using Discord on your mobile device, such as an Android or iPhone, you can unfriend someone on Discord by following these steps:
1. First of all, Open the Discord app on your mobile device and tap on your profile icon at the bottom right of the screen.

How to Block Someone on Discord
If you don’t want to remove them from your friend’s list, you can also try blocking them. Blocking someone will stop them from sending you direct messages.
Now, the steps to block someone on Discord on mobile and PC are the same as above. Instead of clicking on the Remove Friend button, click on the Block button.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sometimes, you might encounter problems when trying to remove friends. Here are some common issues and their solutions:
- Remove Friend option not visible: Ensure you’re actually friends with the user. If you’re not, you won’t see this option.
- Can’t remove friends from a server: You can only remove friends from your personal friend list, not from servers you share.
- Friend immediately reappears: This could be a sync issue. Try logging out and back in, or restarting the app.
If problems persist, check Discord’s official support page for the most up-to-date troubleshooting advice.
