How to Enable or Disable Discord Super Reactions

By VGSources Team 9 min read

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

To send a Discord Super Reaction, open the message’s emoji picker, select the Super Reaction icon, and choose an emoji. Sending requires Nitro, Nitro Basic, or Nitro Classic. To stop the animated effect on your own device, open User Settings > Accessibility and turn off Play animated emoji. That setting hides the animation for you; it does not delete the reaction or prevent other people from adding Super Reactions.

What Discord Super Reactions do

A Super Reaction is an animated emoji reaction attached to a Discord message. It uses the normal reaction workflow, but the emoji animates when displayed. The animation is a visual treatment of the reaction, not a separate message or chat post.

Discord separates the ability to send a Super Reaction from the ability to see one. The current Reactions and Super Reactions FAQ says Nitro, Nitro Basic, and Nitro Classic subscribers can send Super Reactions, with unlimited Super Reactions on those tiers. People who do not have Nitro can still see Super Reactions posted by others.

That distinction matters when someone says they want to “disable Super Reactions.” There are two different actions:

Discord’s FAQ was published or updated on December 11, 2025. Client labels and the exact placement of controls can change in later desktop, browser, or mobile releases, but the functional paths below describe the documented controls.

Who can send and who can view Super Reactions?

Action Requirement What happens
Send a Super Reaction Nitro, Nitro Basic, or Nitro Classic The selected emoji is posted as an animated reaction.
View a Super Reaction No Nitro requirement Any user can see the reaction; the local animation setting determines whether the animation plays for that viewer.
Hide the animation locally Access to User Settings Turning off Play animated emoji stops the animation display on that device.
Remove your own Super Reaction No moderator permission needed Select the same reaction again, or remove your name from View Reactions.
Remove another member’s Super Reaction Manage Messages permission, on desktop or browser A moderator can remove the member’s reaction from View Reactions.

A Nitro subscription affects sending, not visibility. If the Super Reaction icon is missing or unavailable when you open the picker, check the account’s Nitro status before changing accessibility settings. Accessibility controls do not grant permission to send.

How to send a Super Reaction

Use the message’s reaction controls. You can begin with the Add Reaction button or with the reaction menu associated with the message.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.
  1. Open the channel, direct message, or group conversation containing the message.
  2. Move to the message you want to react to and open its emoji picker. Choose Add Reaction or the equivalent reaction option in the message menu.
  3. In the emoji picker, select the Super Reaction icon in the upper-right corner. Discord indicates that Super Reaction mode is active with a blurple glow around the control.
  4. Choose the emoji you want to use.
  5. Wait for the selected emoji to appear in the message’s reaction row. It is now an animated Super Reaction rather than an ordinary static reaction.

The mode applies to the emoji you select after you activate the Super Reaction control. If you intended to send an ordinary reaction, reopen or use the picker with Super Reaction mode turned off before choosing the emoji.

If the Super Reaction button is unavailable

First verify that the account is subscribed to Nitro, Nitro Basic, or Nitro Classic. Discord’s documented requirement is account-based, so changing the server, channel, or message will not substitute for the required subscription.

  • Confirm that you are signed in to the account with the eligible subscription rather than a second Discord account.
  • Close and reopen the emoji picker after confirming the subscription, so the client can refresh the available controls.
  • Try the reaction menu on another message. If the control is absent everywhere, the issue is more likely account eligibility or a client-state problem than a single message.
  • If ordinary reactions work but Super Reaction mode remains unavailable, use Discord’s current support guidance for account or subscription troubleshooting; do not assume that the accessibility setting controls eligibility.

Super Reactions are still reactions, so normal message and server restrictions can affect where you can interact. A message that you cannot react to will not become reactable because you have Nitro.

How to turn off Discord Super Reaction animations

To stop the animated effect on your own screen, change Discord’s accessibility setting:

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.
  1. Open User Settings.
  2. Select Accessibility.
  3. Scroll to Play animated emoji.
  4. Switch the toggle off.

This is the documented viewer-side control for Super Reaction animations. After it is off, Super Reactions can remain in the reaction list and other people can continue to send them, but Discord will not play the animation for you.

What turning the setting off does not do

  • It does not remove existing Super Reactions from messages.
  • It does not convert existing Super Reactions into ordinary reactions.
  • It does not stop another member from sending a Super Reaction.
  • It does not revoke Nitro or change whether your account is eligible to send one.
  • It does not change what other viewers see on their own devices.

If you still see motion after switching the setting off, check that you changed the setting in the same Discord account and client where you are viewing the message. A setting change in one signed-in environment may not immediately explain behavior in another open client. Reopen the relevant message or restart the client if the interface has not refreshed, then verify that the toggle remains off.

How to remove your own Super Reaction

You can undo your own reaction without moderator permission. Use either of Discord’s documented methods.

Method 1: Select the reaction again

  1. Find the message containing your Super Reaction.
  2. Select the same emoji reaction in the reaction row.
  3. Your reaction is removed from that message.

The same selection method works when you want to remove an ordinary reaction. Selecting the emoji again acts as a toggle: present becomes removed.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Method 2: Remove yourself from View Reactions

  1. Open the message menu and choose View Reactions.
  2. Locate the emoji used for your Super Reaction.
  3. Find your username in the list of members who used that emoji.
  4. Select the X next to your username.

This approach is useful when the message has many reactions and the reaction row is difficult to select accurately. Removing the entry removes your reaction; it does not delete the message or affect other members’ reactions.

How a moderator removes someone else’s Super Reaction

A server administrator or moderator needs the Manage Messages permission to remove another member’s Super Reaction. Discord documents this moderation workflow for desktop and browser clients.

  1. Open the message that contains the unwanted Super Reaction on Discord desktop or in a web browser.
  2. Open the message menu and choose View Reactions.
  3. Select the emoji associated with the Super Reaction.
  4. Find the member whose reaction should be removed.
  5. Select the X beside that member’s username.

The permission is important: being a server owner, administrator, or moderator title by itself is not the operation described by Discord’s FAQ unless the account has Manage Messages. Removing another member’s reaction is also different from turning off animation; the former changes the message’s reaction data, while the latter changes only local display.

Mobile limitation

Discord’s FAQ says moderators cannot perform this removal workflow on mobile. If the X control or the member-removal action is not available in the mobile app, use Discord on desktop or in a browser with an account that has Manage Messages. A non-moderator can still remove their own reaction using the normal toggle method.

Sending, viewing, hiding, and removing: choose the right control

Use this decision path when the terminology is confusing:

  1. You want to add an animated reaction: open the emoji picker, activate the Super Reaction icon, and choose an emoji. A Nitro tier is required.
  2. You want to keep reactions but remove motion from your screen: turn off Play animated emoji under User Settings > Accessibility.
  3. You want your own reaction gone: select the same emoji again or remove your username in View Reactions.
  4. You moderate a server and need another member’s reaction gone: use View Reactions on desktop or browser with Manage Messages.
  5. You are a non-Nitro viewer: you can see Super Reactions, but the documented Nitro requirement applies to sending them.

These controls operate at different levels. The picker determines what you send, Accessibility determines how animation is displayed to you, and View Reactions determines which member entries remain on the message.

Troubleshooting common Super Reaction problems

“I cannot find the Super Reaction icon.”

Check Nitro, Nitro Basic, or Nitro Classic eligibility first. The icon is documented as part of the emoji picker and appears in the picker’s upper-right area when Super Reaction mode is available. If the account qualifies but the icon is still absent, close the picker, reopen it, and test another message. This separates a temporary interface state from an account-wide availability issue.

“I turned off Play animated emoji, but the reaction is still there.”

That result is expected. The setting disables animation display; it does not remove the reaction. To remove your own reaction, select the same emoji again or use View Reactions and the X next to your username. To remove someone else’s reaction, a moderator must use the documented desktop or browser workflow with Manage Messages.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

“I do not have Nitro. Can I see the Super Reaction?”

Yes. Discord states that everyone can see Super Reactions, including users without Nitro. Your account does not need a subscription to view the reaction. If you do not want to see its movement, turn off Play animated emoji in Accessibility.

HUANUO FlowLift™ Dual Monitor Stand, Fully Adjustable Gaming Monitor Desk Mount for 13–32″ Computer Screens, Full Motion VESA 75x75/100x100 with C-Clamp & Grommet Base, Each Arm Holds 4.4 to 19.8 lbs
  • Compatible with Wide Screens - To ensure compatibility with the dual monitor mount, your each monitor must meet three conditions at the same time: First, computer screens size range: 13 to 32 inches. Second, screen weight range: 4.4 to 19.8 lbs. Third, the back of the monitor screen must have VESA mounting holes with a pitch of 75x75mm or 100x100mm.
  • Regarding the compatibility with desks - Your desk must meet three conditions at the same time: First, desk material: Only wooden desks are recommended, plastic or glass desks cannot be used. Second, desk thickness range: 0.59" - 3.54". Third, the bottom of the desk should not have any cross beams or panels, as this will interfere with installation. We recommend carefully checking that your desk and monitors meets all above conditions before purchasing.
  • Dual C-Clamp Hold - Worried your dual monitors might wobble or slip? Our upgraded base uses a larger platform plus a dual C-clamp structure to lock the dual monitor arm firmly to your desk. Each arm safely keeps your screens steady while you type, click and game—no shaking, no sliding, just a clean and secure setup you can trust every day. It also provides Grommet Mounting installation choice, both options ensure stable and secure fixation for your 0.59" - 3.54" desk.
  • Full-Motion Adjustment For Comfortable View - Pull the screen closer when you’re deep in a spreadsheet, push it back to watch videos, or rotate to portrait for coding — moving everything smoothly with just one hand. The monitor stand offers +85°/-50° tilt, ±90° swivel and 360° rotation. Raise your monitor up to 15.75″ to support a healthy sitting posture. Whether you’re working from home, gaming through the night, or switching between video calls and documents, getting the screens to your natural line of sight helps relieve neck, shoulder and back strain so you can stay focused longer with less fatigue.
  • Keep Your Desk Organized: By lifting both screens off the desktop, this dual monitor stand opens up valuable space for your keyboard, notebook, docking station or a simple, clutter-free work area. Built-in cable management guides wires along the arms, keeping cords out of sight and out of the way. Enjoy a tidy, modern workstation that looks as good as it feels to use.

“Can I stop another person from sending Super Reactions?”

The documented controls do not provide a viewer-side switch that blocks another person from sending a Super Reaction. Turning off Play animated emoji changes only your local display. If a reaction violates server rules, a moderator with Manage Messages can remove it from View Reactions on desktop or browser.

“Why can’t I remove someone else’s reaction on my phone?”

Discord’s FAQ specifically documents that moderator removal is unavailable on mobile. Use the desktop app or browser, and make sure the account has Manage Messages. Without that permission, you can remove only your own reaction.

“Does disabling animation remove the Super Reaction feature?”

No. The picker, subscription requirement, and reaction data remain unchanged. The toggle controls whether animated emoji—including Super Reaction animation—is played for you. It is an accessibility and presentation preference, not a feature-removal switch.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Practical examples

You want to react enthusiastically but not watch animations

Send the Super Reaction normally if your account has an eligible Nitro tier. Then turn off Play animated emoji under User Settings > Accessibility. Your reaction can remain on the message while animations are suppressed on your device.

You accidentally sent a Super Reaction

Return to the message and select the same emoji in the reaction row. If the row is crowded, open View Reactions and select the X next to your username. Either method removes your reaction without affecting other members’ entries.

A member asks a moderator to remove an unwanted animated reaction

On desktop or browser, a moderator with Manage Messages can open View Reactions and remove that member’s entry. The mobile app is not the documented platform for this moderation action, so switch clients if the control is missing.

Quick reference

Goal Path Account or platform condition
Send a Super Reaction Message reaction control > emoji picker > Super Reaction icon > emoji Nitro, Nitro Basic, or Nitro Classic
Hide Super Reaction animation User Settings > Accessibility > Play animated emoji: off Applies to your display; reaction remains
Remove your own reaction Select the same emoji again, or View Reactions > X by your username Available to the person who sent it
Remove another member’s reaction View Reactions > X by the member’s username Manage Messages; desktop or browser, not mobile
View a Super Reaction Open the message normally No Nitro requirement

The shortest answer is therefore: use the picker’s Super Reaction icon to enable sending, use Accessibility to disable animation, and use the reaction row or View Reactions to remove a reaction. Those are separate controls, so changing one does not silently change the others.
