Given this, if you want to add a certain person, how would you determine which user is the one you’re looking for? That’s where Discord tags come in. And unlike other apps, there is absolutely no barrier to multiple users having the same username on Discord. And if you’ve explored the app, then you probably know that you can change your username, set a different one for every channel and get exactly what you want (if you didn’t already know this, find out how here). A lot of these apps don’t allow you to change your username, either, unless you decide to delete your account and switch to a new one.ĭiscord, however, is well known for its highly customizable user experience. Most apps make use of only usernames to identify different users and this can be a bummer if you had your mind set on one, but it's already taken. If you have used apps like Snapchat and Instagram, then you probably know the frustration of not being able to select a username you really want. We want to be particularly considerate of longtime Discord users who have had their usernames for quite awhile, so we will be assigning priority to choose your new username based on when you registered for Discord.Written by: Hrishikesh Pardeshi, Founder at Flexiple, buildd & Remote Tools.īefore diving into what a Discord tag is, let’s take a moment to understand its need. In the coming weeks, we’ll begin notifying users when they’re able to update their account to a new username, so be on the lookout for an in-app prompt when it’s your turn.ĭuring the transition, all Discord users will be asked to choose a new username, and access will roll out slowly over the course of several months. The company has announced, that this change will be rolled out slowly in the coming weeks, with waves of users being notified once the change has taken place. They were always annoying and made it unnecessarily cumbersome to share your Discord name. While all of this is kind of weird, it has to be said that the idea of getting rid of those silly numbers is absolutely a good one. But, Discord has confirmed that Display Names will be added as well, giving everyone the chance to use whatever name they want, even if it’s already taken. It’s an absurd situation that will definitely cause a lot of headaches.
