Discord Interface

Emoji Reactions

You can interact with the Midjourney Bot in Discord by using emoji reactions. Once your images are ready, hover your mouse over the message area. A small menu will appear on the right side. Click on the "Add Reaction" button, which looks like a smiley face. This brings up a menu with emojis.

Using a mobile device? Long press on the message area and click the smiley face button in the menu that pops up to reveal the emoji reaction menu.

There are two emojis you can use to interact with the Midjourney Bot, but keep in mind these only work on your own images.

• If you want to receive your completed image generation to your direct messages (DMs), use the envelope emoji ✉️ as a reaction on the Midjourney Bot's message. This will send the images straight to your DMs, and include helpful details like the image's seed number and Job ID.

  When used on an image grid, the envelope emoji will send each of the four images separately. Be sure to choose the plain envelope emoji. If you have difficulty finding it, take advantage of the emoji search bar.

• The red X emoji ❌ can do two different things depending on the status of your creations:

  Stop Generating: If your creations are still generating and you use the red X emoji ❌, it will cancel the job. This means the job will stop processing. Use the info command to see your currently running and queued jobs.

  Trash Creations: If your creations are already complete, reacting with the red X emoji ❌ will remove them from Discord, your Organize and Create pages on midjourney.com, and the Archive tab on your profile.

  If you change your mind your can bring them back to Discord using the show command. You can restore them on midjourney.com by going to your Organize page and clicking the "In Trash" checkbox filter option to reveal them and use the "Remove from Trash" option.

  Important: Trashed creations are not private. Others might still find them on the Explore page, in ranking, or see them if they have the job ID or creation URL.

  Note: Prior to October 2025, the red X emoji ❌ functioned differently. Creations ❌ed in Discord before this cannot be removed from trash.

  Trashing creations does not delete them. You cannot delete individual creations, but if you're interested in permanently removing all images, videos, and your account data, please visit our Data Deletion and Privacy FAQ page.

Troubleshooting

If you're having trouble using emoji reactions on a job, look below the action buttons for a tiny message that says "Only you can see this." This message means your images are ephemeral. Ephemeral images are visible only to you when they first generate in Discord and will vanish when you refresh the page.

Ephemeral jobs are part of the Midjourney moderation system. They are triggered by certain words or phrases in your prompt that could result in inappropriate images. To keep things safe, these images are private to you and will disappear unless you generated them in a direct message with the Midjourney Bot.

Want to make them visible to others and use emoji reactions? Just use the show command. Your images will pop back into view, and you can then interact with them as usual.
