Tired of strangers in big servers reading your bio and scrolling through every account you've connected? Discord's Profile Privacy setting lets you lock your full profile down to friends only, and it's built right into the app now — no browser extension and no Tampermonkey script like the old workarounds needed. In this step-by-step tutorial, I'll show you exactly how to make your Discord profile private on both desktop and mobile, walk through all three privacy options, and show you exactly what gets hidden versus what stays visible no matter which one you pick. I'll also cover why your game activity can still show up after you go private, and the separate setting you have to change to actually stop it.
