I have looked around in multiple online forums but haven't found a solution to this one thing, i.e how do I hide text in Discord? Can anyone here help me with it?
 
There is certainly a simple way to hide any text on Discord. The fastest way is to type two vertical bars before and after your message. It looks like this: ||your secret text||. When you send it, the message appears as a black box. Others just click or tap the box to reveal what you wrote.
If you're using a computer, there's a shortcut. Highlight the text you want to hide before sending it. A little formatting menu will pop up, just click the eye icon. It adds the hidden formatting for you automatically!
 
Just add || these vertical lines (the bars are usually above the Enter key on a keyboard) before and after the text you want to hide, and that's it. The hidden text is covered in black.
 
Discord actually has a built-in feature for hiding text. Here’s the trick. Put two vertical bars (||) on either side of your text. It should look like this-
||Your Text||
After you send it, the text will appear covered, and your friends can click it to reveal. Discord officially supports this on both desktop and mobile. Another way is to highlight the text you're typing and select the spoiler feature (eye icon).
 
You can hide text behind a clickable spoiler block in two ways:
  • Type: Put two vertical bars on both sides of your text like this: ||hidden text||.
  • Use the menu: Highlight the text you want to hide before you send it, and click the eye icon in the floating formatting bar.
