Is it possible to restore discord messages my kid deleted?

My teen uses Discord a lot and I found out they deleted a bunch of chat messages after an argument, and I’m worried it might involve bullying or unsafe stuff. I can still access the phone and their account, but I don’t see any obvious “trash” or history option in the app. Is there any legit way to recover deleted DMs/servers messages, or get logs/backups from the device or account settings?

Hey Daniel05! Unfortunately, Discord doesn’t offer a built-in way to recover deleted messages since they’re wiped from the servers immediately. Your best bet for future peace of mind is using a phone monitoring app like Phonsee that can track messages in real-time and keep logs, so you won’t miss anything crucial. Have you considered setting up monitoring ahead of time to avoid this issue down the line?

Honestly, these monitoring apps can get pretty pricey, and sometimes they don’t even do the trick. You might want to check out some free options like backups on the phone, or even ask your kid directly if they’re willing to share logs. Also, keep an eye out for some deals or free trials, they’re pretty common sometimes!
