We know how frustrating it is to delete the entire message in Discord when you just want to edit certain parts of it. Rewriting the message again is very time-consuming and this is the reason why the developers of Discord have introduced a feature known as strikethrough where you edit certain sections of your message and refurbish on how you want it. This feature works on all devices and can be used for channel DMs and personal messages.
How to Type Strikethrough Text on Discord (Web & Desktop Version)
To use this feature in your desktop application of Discord and Discord Web, make sure you follow the texts carefully.
Once you type in the message, select the message and you will come across formatting options after that you select the icon known as “S” which will have crossed the line through it.
As soon as you select the option discord will omit that part that you want to go away.
Note: There is another method known as the markdown method, where you have to apply two tildes (∽) symbols before and after the text and you will be good to go. For instance, let’s say you want to remove the word “Apple“ Then that should be done as (∽) Apple (∽) and the word apple would be omitted.
