Because Discord is so well-known among both teens and adults, it offers a wide range of features to make chatting more interesting. If you’re new to Discord, learning how to format your text can really help you stand out. One useful trick is “Text Strikethrough“, which lets you draw a line through your text, making your messages more expressive and engaging. In this guide, we’ll show you how you can easily add a strikethrough effect to your text—like this. This effect is called “Strikethrough,” and it’s actually very simple to use. Let’s get started:
How to Add Strikethrough in Discord on PC
On PC, you have three options to add a strikethrough to your text. You can use a keyboard shortcut, the built-in toolbar, or do it manually. A bonus on PC is that you can preview your text before sending it, making it easier to get things just right.
1) Use the Pop-Up Toolbar
2) Use the Ctrl + Shift + S Shortcut
3) Use the Manual Method by Adding Tildes “~“
There’s also a manual way to add a strikethrough: by typing two tildes (~) at both the start and end of your text, without spaces.
How to Add Strikethrough in Discord on Mobile
On mobile, Discord does not have the same formatting toolbar or shortcuts as on PC, so you only have one method for adding strikethrough text. Also, you cannot preview your formatted message before you send it, so you’ll only see the result after you post it (a bit nerve-wracking, but it works!).
