Option to Disable Stickers
This should 100% be a user option, since it ruins compact mode (also while we're at it, please make non-previewable files look nicer in compact mode), and maybe a server option, since stickers are generally annoying for me personally (basically paid non-copiable gifs). Here's a quick mock-up of what it could look like in role settings:
Please, Discord. You have added an option for when stickers animate before you added an option to disable this. Compact mode is literally treated as a joke, with most things designed for cozy mode. For me, as an IRC user, this is just sad. Please add this.
Edit: I am genuinely considering rolling back to an older Android version that doesn't have stickers.
Edit 2: Custom Stickers are now a thing. The "Use External Stickers" permission is being worked on and is rolling out to servers. I now have my own bot to delete all sticker messages, however this is still an issue as people don't have the knowledge to create their own bots, plus bots can go down or restart.

Just got the sticker suggestions, can't see a way to remove them. They are horrible and ruin the emoji suggestions. Please implement this.

There used to be a way to hide / disable the stickers under the Text & Images settings, but it has been removed. The worst part is that once a sticker is "suggested" based on your text, you can't swipe out of it or get to your emoji list - you're stuck clicking on the sticker option or else restarting your entire message. As someone who is never going to use the stickers, but who has Nitro exclusively to be able to use my most loved emojis wherever I want, this is a giant frustration.

Came for the same thing as the last comment, this is getting annoying. I can't access my emojis once a sticker appears, what's the use of paying nitro if I basically get locked put of my emotes from time to time? This is ridiculous

Totally agree with what everyone else is saying, it's ridiculous and impractical and completely ruins how I usually use emojis. What's more, as a Nitro Classic subscriber, I get the sticker suggestions but can't actually use stickers, which makes it even more annoying. Please add an option to turn it off. It looks like there was an option a while back (I've found a Reddit post from 8 months ago saying user settings > text and images > toggle sticker suggestions) but I guess it's been removed since. Add it back.

Just found out my compact IRC environment has been invaded by the inability to turn stickers off. I do not use programs like Telegram or FB Messenger entirely because of the inability put up with nonsense pictures when I am trying to have a conversation. Please put in an option to turn stickers off completely so they are not viewable. I really enjoy Discord a great deal and I would hate to have to find something else to use because of a simple feature you should be able to turn on and off. Thank you for your time.

This really is obnoxious. I'm a nitro subscriber, but I don't want the stickers, and they're clogging up my emoji suggestions. Please add the ability to at LEAST disable sticker suggestions. It's so bad. I just want to use my server emojis, I really want nothing to do with the stickers. It's an unnecessary feature and a UI clog.
There was an option to disable them in the past. Add it back in, please.

I got a free nitro subscription some time ago and uhh... I guess this update made the decision to not pay for a renewal very easy.
This new feature is very inconvenient and intrusive. According to the Sticker Suggestions FAQ I should be able to disable the suggestions at least but the option is not there.
I personally don't think it was a good idea to add facebook boomer cringe as a feature in discord.

Throwing my vote in here to have an option to disable stickers completely. I keep bumping the hot key for it by accident when I intend to hit CTRL+A due to fast typing, and it is extremely disruptive.

Just wanted to say that, as of this morning, sticker suggestions now appear on top of the writing box instead of blocking the emotes access, which is nice. And not only that, the option to turn off sticker suggestions entirely seems to be back, on mobile as well, and I have to say THANK YOU for listening, whoever fixed that, I really appreciate it!
2 -
Yes, I definitely support this option. Server owners are having a major problem because people are able to easily create and send NSFW stickers on regular channels, and these stickers are usually coming from other servers.
3 -
Please add this. The little fixes to the bugs with sticker suggestion boxes is nice, but we NEED a way to turn these off!!!
2 -
Stickers are a feature i recall NO ONE asking for, please allow us to turn them off as when I am trying to type in a formal setting, such as a Role Play, or even a formal message to my dev team for some minecraft mods, it gets in the way and does more harm than good

I'd actually like to be able to turn them off at the Server level, after reading Merith's excellent comment.
Stickers need to go away, or at least be something we can turn off for work servers.
Remember -- Discord is being used by all different types of communities now.

Update - Discord has made a "Use *External* Stickers" permission, it will control whether members can use stickers from other servers now that Custom Stickers are a thing. For my server personally, I have a custom bot that auto deletes any message with a Sticker in it.
Stickers have gained popularity in being able to disrupt chat in seconds due to their size, this is becoming an issue for larger servers and a permission for all stickers needs to happen, because the bot can go down or lag or restart, and it's not the best solution as many people don't know how to make their own bot.

Andre could you share that bot with me?

I'd like to see a *client-side* option to control the appearance of stickers. I don't necessarily want to prevent other people from using (custom) stickers, but I don't want my own personal view to be cluttered with oversized emoji spam. Maybe an option to set their scaling (like text, so they can be the same size as emoji) or to disable them outright (like embeds and other media).

Stickers pop-up everywhere anytime without asking and barely anyone uses them. Such a forced feature to sell more Nitro. Stickers ruin my emoji experience and now also take even more space out from input message field (alongside with gifts, gifs and emojis buttons).
5 -
i don't care that there's a sticker button.
please stop them from popping up EVERY TIME I TYPE.
that's dozens of popups every day for me
why is this a thing?
5 -
What I want is for a way to stop having sticker suggestions when I try to manually enter an emote. It's so cluttered and I'd really like the ability to opt out, I've almost used stickers on accident more than once and I'd really like to just not have to deal with it. It just feels like more visual clutter clogging up the screen.

I was able to disable stickers for mobile but on desktop I have toggled them off five times in six days. I can't believe someone was paid money to make this happen. Just when you think the latest cosmetic change can't get any more annoying we get this steaming pile of turd. We're already gouged for Nitro just to get what should be basic functionality and still there's no control.

How is there still no way to disable stickers from displaying? You have the option for all other types of media so you know the purpose of it.
If it's not added this month I'm just going to cancel nitro.
1 -
I will be canceling my nitro as well if the option to completely disable stickers is not made available. We already have emoji's no one asked for these "Stickers" they are pointless and unwanted. Turning the sticker suggestions off, does not stop them from auto-populating when searching for a specific emoji using ":", how this passed QA testing baffles me.

I absolutely hate stickers, they ruin my experience when using emotes.
I am very used to typing : (colon) and starting to type words to do lookups for emojis, now I have to deal with all the sticker suggestions coming up when I do this, and it's invasive and distracting.
Nobody likes stickers, they're just a cheesy way of trying to loop into giphy/giffing and emojis but they are worse than both. Let us disable them completely.

Just canceled my Nitro subscription. The setting "disable sticker suggestions" is **_ignored_**, they pop up after `:` anyway. If canceling Nitro is the only way to get rid of this junk, so be it!
3 -
This feature is so annoying, I'd consider paying for a subscription to remove it. Instead of making stickers Nitro-only, you should make the option to completely disable and remove them Nitro-only!

Any chance we could get an option to completely disable Stickers? It would be lovely. Thank you.
6 -
Would love to be able to disable both Stickers and GIFs. Tired of them being used instead of real conversations.
3 -
I'm with skrapers. Instead of "External Stickers", why not an option for "ALL Stickers" ? Per Discord text channel.
4 -
Pls pls disable this. It's gotten to the point where I'm considering making a burner profile to boost servers, so I don't have to deal with the stupid sticker suggestions every time I type, preventing me from editing the msg I'm trying to send. WTF???
4 -
Please add a way to disable them from a server also.
