An update on how we confirm your age group on Discord

Age assurance laws are expanding around the world, and we’ve had to launch age assurance in more places. Rather than waiting to be told how to do it, we built a privacy-preserving approach based on user feedback.

Starting today, accounts are automatically placed into an age group using account signals, like account age and the servers you're part of, never your messages or content. Because of this, more than 90% of users won't be asked to confirm their age group at all.

If you're in the adult age group (18+), nothing changes. If you're in the teen age group (13-17), you can keep messaging friends, joining voice calls, and taking part in non-age-restricted servers, with added safety protections that block access to age-restricted content, spaces, and settings.
