An Informative Guide to Use Spoiler Tags on Discord

Discord is one of the most popular platforms for connecting with various communities of like-minded people. Discord, the VoIP, instant messaging and digital distribution platform, has been exclusively designed for users to communicate through voice calls, video calls or by exchanging texts, media and files in private chats. Apart from these useful features, this messaging app offers many other features that are not seen in any other chat platform. One of the recently added useful features is the Spoiler tag.

If you’ve never used spoiler tags, they can be very useful to you if you chat frequently on Discord.

Has anyone ever spoiled the excitement or suspense of a movie before you’ve seen it? That’s why spoiler tags came about so that no one can spoil the suspense of a movie or anything without your permission.
