Curious to know what app this is in the picture - purple background with the white symbol? Does anyone know? Thanks!

Have you tried doing a reverse image search on Google?

Discord.

It's a chat platform, which is used by a lot of gamers.

Rebornagain · 15/06/2021 17:49

Discord.

Nothing to worry about but why you snitching on phone?

Prisonbreak · 15/06/2021 17:53

I would assume you have bigger issues in your relationship

carefulmum · 15/06/2021 17:56

Be very careful. That's a known app used for extra marital affairs. I caught my ex DP using it around a year ago, the amount of messages he was sending to OW down for affairs was outstanding.

Trust your gut here and LTB!

Rubbish.

I definitely wouldn't leap to Discord being used for an affair UNLESS you have other reasons to be suspicious (which, if you're going through his phone, maybe you do?). It's primarily used by people of all ages and sexes to chat about videogames or other hobbies and interests, I have quite a few friends who use it/have used it and definitely weren't searching for affairs with it.

carefulmum · 15/06/2021 18:01

@orangejuicer Be Kind! You shouldn't try and gaslight someones lived experience.

I don't want Dillytilly to face the same experience that I did. Allowing her to be naive to facts will not help her in the future.

It’s no more “known” as an app for affairs than WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Facebook Messenger or any other chat and messaging facility is. Your ex just chose Discord above all the other options he could have chosen to message somebody he was having an affair with.

As others have said, a lot of online gamers use Discord, and its core feature is the ability to create online communities and groups in it.

Vodkabulary · 15/06/2021 18:03

Discord. Used lots by gamers and for other hobbie. I’m part of a discord chat for a comedy podcast I support on patron and also an embroidery group one

DH uses it for a YT he follows on twitch who has a discord channel for his supporters and also for his NFL groups

Lol. Why make something like that up to worry her? What’s wrong with you?
carefulmum · 15/06/2021 18:10

@Bluntness100 I haven't made up anything. This was my experience of my ex with the app. A lot of my friends have had similar experiences. If you have had a different experience then that doesn't take away mine.

I do find it funny though when a lot of OPs discover their DP having an affair out of the blue, when the red flags were in front of them all along.

orangejuicer · 15/06/2021 18:14

carefulmum - Discord is not an app for extra marital affairs.

HappilyHadesBound · 15/06/2021 18:17

Discord is just a messaging app... like every other messaging app! It's no more suspicious than any other messaging app.

HappilyHadesBound · 15/06/2021 18:18

By the way, the logo is supposed to look like a games controller

carefulmum · 15/06/2021 18:19

All i'm saying is be careful. I was burnt and I wouldn't want dilly to face the same unexpected pain that me and my friends did.

Caselgarcia · 15/06/2021 18:20

I wouldn't describe it as funny if an OP discovered their partner having an affair

My friend’s ex husband was phoning his other woman at every chance he got. I suggest you make sure any future partners you have throw away their phones in case they’re similarly tempted, and recommend you get rid of yours as well to reassure future partners that you aren’t cheating on them by calling other men.
InkieNecro · 15/06/2021 18:23

I'd say Kik or telegram were for affairs over discord! Discord is full of gamers or otherwise needy people so we can join groups related to our hobbies or games. Also use it to chat with my partner when we're gaming together and he's at his house.

If you're looking through his phone for evidence of cheating then you have bigger issues.

InkieNecro · 15/06/2021 18:23

By needy, I mean nerdy, though I'm sure my mum would say they're interchangeable Grin

SoupDragon · 15/06/2021 18:25

All i'm saying is be careful.

You told her to leave!!

carefulmum · 15/06/2021 18:25

@Caselgarcia obviously I didn't mean funny in a humorous way.

AHobbyaweek · 15/06/2021 18:26

Discord. I have a big knitting club on it so not everything is suspect on it!
My DH has gaming chats on it.

NcagainNC · 15/06/2021 18:27

@carefulmum stop talking nonsense telling a random internet stranger to ‘LTB’ because he has Discord on his phone. This is a real person and a real relationship 🙄

LeafBeetle · 15/06/2021 18:27

The people I know who use Discord do not use it for extra marital affairs.
