Age verification will become mandatory for all Discord users who want to keep full access to the gaming-focused messaging platform.

Discord announced today that it will move all accounts to “teen-by-default” settings to create “a safer and more inclusive experience" for those ages 13 to 18. It’ll apply to new and existing users from early March; Discord hasn't confirmed an exact launch date yet.

Select communities are age-gated by default, and some content won’t be available until you prove you’re an adult. It will also enforce content filters for select multimedia thought to be sensitive, and you won’t be able to unblur images until you confirm your identity.
