How to hide your game activity on Discord

Game activity only displays if you have the function enabled on PC. Discord doesn’t read your app activity on mobile devices yet, so mobile games don’t show on your account even if you have Discord open on your phone.

Launch the Discord desktop app. Click the gear-shaped User Settings icon next to your username at the bottom.
