Discord Status - Everything you need to know!

1 Change Discord status on PC & smartphone

Actually, Discord is now a social network, chat, video call & streaming platform in one. Friends can see what you're playing, what music you're listening to, and maybe even where you are. To give your friends on Discord an even more detailed look at what your current status is, you have the option to leave pre-made statuses or even your own. We'll show you how it works in this article. Have fun!

A personalized Discord status is individual and can be very helpful, because your friends can see if you are available for a little game or if they don't even need to ask. This saves both you and your fellow gamers time and nerves.

2 Discord personalized status - ideas & sayings 

Your Discord status can be quite simple, but of course you want to bring out the best and surprise your friends with nice ideas and imaginative sayings. For this reason, it makes sense to think a bit more about how your Discord status should look like. Here, both emojis and pointed one liner can bring exactly the effect you want. Make sure your status fits the current situation and really says what's going on with you right now. 

Of course, if you're on vacation, it doesn't make sense to use any controller or other gaming emojis. Here, for example, a nice palm tree or a crossed-out smartphone would be the right choice.  You surely understand what I mean now - a personalized Discord status is individual and tailored to the current situation. Let your creativity run wild and spice up your Discord status with sayings and ideas!
