How to Use Strikethrough in Discord for Desktop or Web
To apply strikethrough formatting to your text on Discord, there are two methods available if you are using a Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook computer. You can either utilize the context menu option or utilize markdown.
For both the Discord desktop app and the Discord web app, the process remains the same.
Begin by opening Discord on your device and entering a channel or conversation with an individual. In this space, simply type the desired text that you wish to strike through.
Highlight the text you want to strike through. Discord will now show you a few formatting options. In this menu, select the icon that's an "S" with a line crossing through it.
As soon as you select the above icon, Discord will apply strikethrough formatting to your highlighted text.
To strike through words or sentences in your messages, you can utilize this method.
An alternative approach to strikethrough text in your Discord desktop or web app is by employing markdown. You just need to input a symbol before and after the text you want to strike through, and Discord will automatically apply the formatting when you send it.
To do that, before and after the text you want to strike through, type two tilde (~) symbols. This means two tildes before and two tildes after your text.
~~Apple~~
When you do that, Discord applies the strikethrough formatting to the text between your tildes.
And that's it.
How to Use Strikethrough in Discord for iPhone or Android
When using Discord on your iPhone or Android phone, you have a single method to strike through text, unlike the desktop and web app. Simply input two tilde symbols before and after the desired text in the text field of the Discord mobile app.
~~Android~~
After doing that, send your message. Discord will format your text with the strikethrough effect.
And that's all there is to it.

This simple yet powerful technique adds a new dimension to text-based communication, allowing users to emphasize or highlight specific parts of their messages.

This versatility makes strikethrough formatting accessible and convenient for all users, regardless of their platform of choice.
