Hi everyone! I am glad that so many people are finding this little tutorial useful. I have not been active on TH-cam 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. ❤
@@hubee2407 I do not. I have a few ideas though: check your Server invites that you've had. Either check in your browser history or check personal messages with people. You could also try looking for the server ID instead of a person's ID. When you download your Discord package, there should be logs of servers in there as well. In the channel file, type: 1 refers to a DM and either 2 or 3 would be a server/groupchat I think.
They actually added that feature on mobile (It's not on PC as far as I know), however you can't scroll back all the way to your first DM, only the ones you had in the past month or so.
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
make a new server with just yourself, /ban the user id, then go into the server setting and under bans it should show it. then you just right click on the name and hit message and it should pull there dms up@@beatmoder
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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. :/
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
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?

@@user-kl6ej5sd6u bro just send a request to them. then go to the pending tab. then click their user, then open dms. then delete the request if u dont want them to see.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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 :)
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
Hey I just fixed it. This might be because it was a message ID and not a user ID. I got my ID from my account data package and I just had to get a json viewer to see the participants ID and not the message ID, I was using the message ID which led to me getting nothing.
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 :/
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 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.)
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
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.
what you can do is create your own server, do the slash ban command and ban them and then go to the bans section in the server and there you can see their profile and click message
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
it happened to me too.. it said that the person wasn't accepting friend requests and that they would have to add u themselves: :( anyone gotta solution??
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)
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.
bro you just have to get their user id and what you can do is create your own server, do the slash ban command and ban them and then go to the bans section in the server and there you can see their profile and click message
I went to my settings then requested my data but i have to wait about 30 days to get my data back. I really need to check my closed messages because it is super urgent. What can I do?

Do you have a method on finding previous servers joined or group dms?
@@hubee2407 I do not. I have a few ideas though: check your Server invites that you've had. Either check in your browser history or check personal messages with people.

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

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

4. Right click and select either profile or messages

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you very much for uploading!!
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.)
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
pin this !!
this just saved me, thank u man
2:41 why doesn't mine show up with their username??
what if the messages show up in excel not notepad
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.
I think the website broke recently
you can also use the search bar "Find or start a new conversation" above the friends button
doesn't work
Doesn't work when there are no longer any mutual servers.

what you can do is
create your own server, do the slash ban command and ban them and then go to the bans section in the server and there you can see their profile and click message
Okay I found the dms but the recipient thing isn’t there, what do I do?
apparently if u clicked the X button next to someones DM's it doesnt delete, only makes it disapear for a while.
