Once you found the server, tap on the triple dots icon next to the server’s name, and tap on “Leave Server” to leave the server.

No, leaving a Discord server does not notify.

If your username does not autopopulate, that means that you’re no longer a member of the server.

- Open Discord on a desktop.
