Confirm eligibility

Users under 18 cannot access age-restricted servers or channels. Complete Discord's age-assurance process if your region or account requires it.

Access on desktop or Android

Sign in to the current Discord app or web client and open the server. Follow the age-assurance prompt if one appears.

Opt in for iOS on desktop

On Discord desktop, open User Settings > Content & Social and enable access to age-restricted content on iOS.

Know the iOS exception

Some servers focused on explicit pornography cannot be joined or viewed on iOS even after opt-in; use desktop or web where Discord allows access.

Video walkthrough

If it does not work

  • If an eligible adult account still cannot open the channel, complete any age-assurance prompt and check the desktop Content & Social setting used for iOS access. An iOS opt-in cannot override Discord's restriction on servers focused on explicit pornography.
