- On desktop, you can use Discord’s built-in search function to filter messages. Go to the desired channel, click the search bar, and use filters like “after:” and “before:” to view messages from a certain date range. You can also search for specific keywords.
- Browser extensions like Discordmate allow you to export your message history into a file like CSV or JSON that can be viewed in other programs.
- Third party apps like Discord History Tracker can locally save your Discord chat history for viewing offline.
Viewing Deleted Messages
- Deleted Discord messages cannot be recovered through official means, but third party tools like BetterDiscord or Dyno Bot can log deleted messages that server admins can view later.
- With the BetterDiscord plugin MessageLoggerV2 enabled, deleted messages will still be visible to you in red text but not to other users.
Viewing Message History on Mobile
- The options for viewing message history on mobile are more limited. Aliucord for Android has a MessageLogger plugin similar to BetterDiscord. Otherwise, utilizing the desktop version of Discord is recommended for searching through message archives.
