Introduction
Discord Nitro is a premium membership offered by Discord, the popular communication platform used by millions of gamers, streamers, creators, and online communities. Nitro enhances the core experience with features like HD video streaming, animated emojis, custom Discord tags, 2 server boosts, and upload limits increased to 100MB. Subscriptions are available on a monthly or yearly basis and auto-renew by default.
While Nitro adds powerful enhancements for active users, not everyone needs the extra perks. Whether you signed up for a free trial, want to avoid recurring charges, or are simply scaling back your digital subscriptions, this guide will show you how to cancel your Discord Nitro subscription step by step—on Android, iPhone, and PC.
