Reopen Closed Discord DM's If You're Not Friends And You Don't Know Their Name 

Hi everyone! I am glad that so many people are finding this little tutorial useful. I have not been active on RU-vid due to University, but every time I log in I am glad that this video is still helping others. Feel free to donate to me if you would like to! paypal.me/ShaquilleOehlers May this video keep on helping you all until Discord fixes this. It seems trivial but Discord seems to think otherwise. ❤

Discord really needs to add a "previously closed" tab that lists out every DM you've closed, this way stuff like this isn't necessary

Thank you so much! I think a lot of people regret closing dms with someone who was important or special in their lives, myself included.

Yep it works. I thought I could speedrun it by copying the user's ID, but winrar actually has a string-finding feature where if you remember one of the words, you can narrow it down pretty quickly and find the person you're looking for. Thanks for the tutorial man, I really needed it.

Ik im seeing this way late but if they dont accept friends req then its not entirely over You can always /ban there id in a server with just yourself, then rightclick there name in the bans list and hit message, ive done this so many times and its saved my ass on a few of them

A life saver, literally. My respect. Truly.

Your voice is so relaxing I literally left it playing on loop and fell asleep.

To mend the 'friend requests' thing, heres a trick that I just discovered recently, it works for non-deleted accounts but it might work for deleted accounts too. 1. Make a server and add a mod bot such as carlbot 2. Do !ban (UID) 3. Go to banned users in the setting tabs 4. Right click and select either profile or messages 5. BAM you can now open their messages! This helped me open an old friend's DMs (I did the discord lookup, and tbh I really didn't want to add them just to look at some old messages) and I hope it can help y'all too :D

Hey man, god bless you for this. You helped out of a real pinch

you honestly dont know on how helpful this is to me. I honestly thought all of my chats was gone in just a stupid misclick. But thanks to you i now know how to recover it. thank you so much. you dont know how grateful i am

Doesn't work anymore. Neither site can fetch deleted user's name and /ban command doesn't work on deleted users either... As if Discord purposefuly doesn't want you to re-open dms with them.

Pov: you still miss that person 1 year later. Also thank you SO much

helped out alot bro, i had a song stuck in my head and i remember sending a video to someone i used to know and now i finally found the song and the person i sent it to! You have my respect bro

thank you for this. the fact that discord automatically closes dms after a certain amount of time is very frustrating, especially since I've had my account since 2016 and have so much history

already requested the data, thank you Edit: I've got the data after 4 days and with your help, I found one of my dearest friends again :) thank you

Unfortunately one of my great, great real life friends moved, and so we friended each other on discord. I was being stubborn one day and didn't feel like adding their "new account" as a friend and wanted him to friend me instead. He also was being stubborn and said no, I kept saying no etc etc and eventually we never talked again. What is even odder is that he completely dissapeared from all of the internet since that exchange, and I cannot find anything on him. Hopefully I can finally get some answers if I do this. :/

guys, you should search in the messages for a mention, because it doesn't show the id anymore, btw, when you add them as a friend, don't add the tag, it isn't necessary and discord id doesn't give it any more

Thank you so much! took me around two hours to find the DM i needed but i did find it, all thanks to this video.

edit: i forgot about this comment but yeah i managed to restore a dm and im still not going to specify but yeah the process works Holy hell you don't understand how much this is a life saver for me, I won't specify why exactly this is important (yet) because it's really personal and somewhat traumatic but I will after I restore a dm I had with someone

All this just to reopen a DM.. Discord's utter incompetence is so frustrating

This may have taken absolutely hours but I appreciate you so much right now, thank you :)

Bro thank you so much. U deserve all love and support this should blow up. Such a life saver- thanks

damn wasn't expecting that to actually work. thank you so much.

tysm i wanna find me and this persons old dms but once i do ill have a breakdown

This helped me finding someone that i've been looking for months.

Goddamn. I ended a friendship with someone and closed the DMs immediately. But now I find myself needing the info on that. I find this video, get excited... 'it only works if they accept friend request' Alright... guess I'm shit out of luck then. Goshdarnit. Is there TRULY no way?

Thank you so much, i can now view my stupidity and my groomers taking advantage of me from like 2-4 years ago!!😆

theres a better method to doing this, at the very bottom of the message file there should be a thing called "index" if you open it on notepad it will let you see al the users you ever dmed or dmed you.

THANK. YOU. man I cnat thank you enough I have a friend who has a toxic brother that has been trying to frame us and I can finally show his dad

this was a really huge help! thank you so much!

I tried a few things before this, and this one finally worked. Thanks so much man!

Broo, thank you so much. We all needed this lol.

A Truth: Only Small RU-vid Creators Can Solve Your Issue

now someone needs to make a bot that will go through all these and return the dms folders only

omg thank you so so much for this!!! I literally reconnected with my old boy bsf by doing this and I’m so fucking happy

well i need that message now. Cant wait 7 days for them to send me package and then sift through 100''s of folders finding what i need. Impossible task.

Thank you. Although you can just find someone's message on a closed server then just kind of add them back and here you go!

Thank you, just requested my info, hoping it works but it'll likely will

Thank you so much it really helped me i hav been looking for this person for so long ty so much

i wonder how many relationships this has ended, I feel like the day I do this is the day im ready to leave

if you go to pending and click on their name, then go to the three bubbles, you can see a "send message" button. You don't need them to accept your request :)

God Bless You Bro! 😩❤️ I couldn't find any help on internet but you helped me!

there was this amazing shotgun shooter named ryan that i have been trying to reach for a month. i have been spammed on discord because i accidentally leaked my username, so i ignored a bunch of dms on discord that i didnt recognize and closed them. its late, im going to get some rest and if this works tomorrow, i will sub and like. thanks so much. I am looking forward to talking to him again.

I'm gonna try this tomorrow, after I get some sleep. If this works I am going to sub like and share your channel. Thank you in advance.

I miss him and i was mad at him that day... Damn we couldn't talk anymore but well atleast i can read our chats and comfort myself

took me exactly 32 minutes but its so worth it, i found my old best friend and i can finally talk to him now

When I use the ID look up, it just tells me what the ID is which I already know and it just tells me when the account was made.

My man!! I gotta thank to you. Reallyyy. Appreciate ittt. ♥

Bro i love you so much, THANK YOU! I've been trying to find my old friend for over a month

Thanks man, it helped me tracked a scammer that tried to scam me

3:20 cant you go to pending friend requets and check their dms through their account page?

God bless you, this helped me so so much. I just need them to accept my friend request now, thank you so much man, you are the best

you can also use the search bar "Find or start a new conversation" above the friends button

thank you so much bro, i had a friend once on discord. we talk for a year then we thought our friendship will never end. but suddenly she got busy and i get mad because she always late reply, that's why i blocked her. then unblock her again, then unfriend and so on. i delete our server too cuz she's always replying late that's why i thought she don't want me no more to be her friend. i just got have so much anxiety that's why i unfriend her and delete our server. but i really miss her that's why i came to your video to find her again and to add her. i hope she will come back again to me. XD btw thank you so much this video really helps me.

You can't find deleted discord users anymore with this

you can send them a friend request go to pending right click and click message and you can see your previous convo you can delete the friend request later

literally love you! tysm for this help

the facts that they take up to 30 days to email the data.....

Thanks dude appreciate it!

Methodical thank you very much!!! you are my savior..

how do you open the dm if you have their old account and says deleted account but you cant add them cause it has #000 and cant open the messages? do i still have to do this?

I really want to see the old text messages, but I wanna look dumb and just try adding them. I know they won't accept it.

hey thats actually extremely helpful i am trying to find an old friend that i accidently unfriended and I seem to be on the right path

thank you very much! that's all I could say I subbed and liked

Thx man Finnaly someone Who did a great Job

are you gonna do a phone tutorial too? im on phone and i had a friend named caiya and i want to reunite with her since i have no mutuals, no servers in common and dont know her user or username, nor id.

when i put their user into the discord finder it doesnt show me their username just their id and the date their account was created

Nah I'm fucked up in this situation bc if i send them a friend request they are gonna kill me 💀

IT WORKS NVM, you just need their id, it would be a big help if the person you're trying to find is in a specific server before and ask a staff for their ID, they can just simply look at the message logs and they'll find the ID, then just enter the ID in the discord id site then u have their user, now just add and open the message, boom.

*I guess ill have to wait a little until "deleted user" adds me back*

Doing the user ID doesn't give any some sort of useable name. It only gives the ID which you gave, and the date the account was created. But it DOES give the username of currently existing users.

Thx man u are a lifesaver

i met this girl over omegle and we exchanged discord. one day after getting too close, she says she will have to delete me cuz she had to give her exams back then and i without realizing it would be hard said ok. now im not able to find her anywhere. i wish this works for me

yea i need to find a long lost friend from school and talk to him and i sadly unfriended him accidently and yea

found out my girl was cheating on me with this thank you man

So an old friend deleted disc like a yr and a half ago but idk if they blocked me before that bc we weren’t on the best terms. I just want to know if this will work now bc of the change in usernames on discord? Also I have their account I guess from messages In old servers still so I tried sending a friend request but it didn’t work and I tried opening messages w them but it also didn’t work idk what to do :/

apparently if u clicked the X button next to someones DM's it doesnt delete, only makes it disapear for a while. just find their user and their number again and u can see the convo as long as u dont block them or legitimately delete conversation

This is a pretty old video but I might throw together a script that auto scans each of the folders :D ill reply to this comment if i ever put on together (like / reply if u want me to)

I when i was 9 i was a rebel and had MANY girls my age on discord and you know ur boy was a menace soooo he just about blocked EVERY single one of them now YEARS later he realized he shouldn't have done that because he didn't realize he WAS LUCKY now im lonely

is there a way to filter out the messages within each message file? perhaps a certain command or smth? i just have way too many files and it would be quite hard to go through each one...

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE A HERO

The discord look up thing didn’t work for me please someone help🙏 I put in the id and it just told me the id again and when the account was created

ive done these step but i can't find the discord because its deleted user #0000 and when i put the id in discord id it only shows the date joined is there anyway around this?

So what’s a type 3 message? Since there’s types 0 and 1. Is type 3 for group chats?

Hello! I was wondering if this also captured closed group chats? And if so, is there any method on finding them?

thank you so so so much for this.

Does the "Find or start a conversation" search engine only include accounts in the same servers as you or who you've already friended? When I search exact usernames with their tags, nothing pops up even though they're not a deleted user

@methodical how can I send a message to someone that doesn't accept friend requests and is not in any of the servers I am?

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you very much for uploading!!

I lost a person in my dms he was a good friend now I'm sad like really sad😭

BRO U HELPED ME TOO MUCH AS FUCKING THANK YOU

what if the messages show up in excel not notepad

Thanks man you're the best thank you so much man

Does this work only for one discussion or all the ones you had?

You are the best man, the best

Thank you so much!

You can check even if they wont accept your friend request. Send a friend request, then go over to pending, select their profile and click the dots on the top right next to "sent friend request" and click on message. It should still come up even if you're blocked.

i dont really close dms, but i always liked backreading my dms in socmeds except for discord. (it just auto closes my oldest dms with people who unfriended me a long time ago.)

Man my friend doesn't accept friend requests from people who don't share the same server as him, screwed.

I'll try this. I got hacked and removed alot of good friends. I hope this works 😢
