<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIn this troubleshooting guide, you’ll learn how to fix the Discord error on iOS, Android, Mac, and Microsoft Windows.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Check the Discord Server Status\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Discord app or website will fail to load messages due to server issues and glitches. You can quickly check that by heading over to DiscordStatus.com<\/a> or a third-party website monitoring tool like DownDetector<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n If there appear to be server-side problems for other Discord users and gamers, you must wait until all systems come back online. If not, move on with the rest of the fixes.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Discord messages loading issue could be related to your internet connection. If other apps and programs also have trouble connecting to the internet, try these fixes:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn what else you can do to troubleshoot a slow Wi-Fi<\/a> or Cellular network.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some Discord servers have multiple text channels. Switching to a different channel and back again might prompt Discord to reload new messages.\n<\/p>\n\n\n Marking a text channel as read is another quick fix that can help resolve message loading issues in Discord. To do that, right-click or long-press the problematic channel and select Mark as Read<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n The following fix involves force-quitting and relaunching the Discord app on your mobile or desktop. On iOS and Android, start by bringing up the App Switcher. Then, locate and remove the Discord<\/span> card, head back to the home screen, and tap the Discord<\/span> icon. \n<\/p>\n\n\n On desktop devices, shut down the app using the Task Manager<\/a> or Activity Monitor before you restart Discord again.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you do anything to break the rules in a Discord server? If so, you could be under a ban preventing you from interacting with server channels for up to an hour. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, spamming reactions and copy-pasting too many messages in a short amount of time can easily trigger an automatic API ban that lasts up to an hour. Refer to the Discord Wiki<\/a> for more details.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Signing out and back into Discord often prompts the app to download stuck messages again. To do that, select the Profile<\/span>\/Settings<\/span> icon at the bottom of the screen and select Log Out<\/span>. \n<\/p>\n\n\n Once you do that, force-quit and relaunch the app, then log in with your Discord account credentials.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Updating Discord to its latest version is a terrific way to fix persistent issues with the app. On mobile devices, head over to the Play Store or App Store, search for Discord<\/span>, and tap the Update<\/span>. \n<\/p>\n\n\n Right-click the Discord<\/span> icon on the system tray in Windows and select Check for updates.<\/span> Choose Discord<\/span> > Check for updates <\/span>on the menu bar on Mac.\n<\/p>\n\n\n Try updating your web browser if the issue occurs while using Discord’s web version<\/a>. Here’s how to update Chrome or any other browser on Windows<\/a> and macOS.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n A corrupt application cache is another reason Discord fails to load your messages. Clearing it out will force the app to re-download data from the servers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Open the Settings <\/span>app and select Apps <\/span>> See all apps<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Tap Discord<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Tap Storage and cache<\/span> > Clear cache<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n Select the Profile<\/span> icon at the lower-right of the screen. Then, scroll down and tap Clear caches<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n 1. Press Windows<\/span> <\/span>+ R<\/span> to open a Run box. On the Mac, open Finder and select Cmd<\/span> + Shift<\/span> + G<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Type %<\/span>appdata<\/span>%\/discord<\/span> and press Enter<\/span>. On Mac, type ~\/Library\/Application Support\/discord\/<\/span> instead.\n<\/p>\n\n\n 3. Delete the Code Cache<\/span>, GPU Cache<\/span>, and Cache <\/span>folders.\n<\/p>\n\n\n If you use the web version of Discord, try deleting the browser cache. Here’s how to clear any browser cache on Windows and Mac<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n A VPN (Virtual Private Network)<\/a> is the best way to circumvent message loading issues caused by geo-restrictions or banned IP addresses. Learn about the best VPNs for mobile or desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If none of the fixes above work, you must remove and reinstall Discord. That should reset any conflicting app permissions or other settings preventing the app from loading messages. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on your platform, here’s how to remove Discord.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow that by redownloading Discord via the App Store<\/a>, Play Store<\/a>, or Discord website<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Discord’s message loading issues are generally easy to resolve. However, if the issue persists, contact a server moderator for help. Contact the Discord support team if the problem is not limited to a specific server.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Does Discord have trouble loading messages on your phone or desktop?
