These same rules are what led art-based social media app Tumblr to wipe all NSFW content from its entire platform some years ago. On iOS, NSFW servers cannot be accessed at all in what seems to be a move meant to cater to Apple’s strict and often prudish rules around services in its App Store. Prior to this change, Discord had allowed individual channels inside servers to be marked as NSFW and age-gated.ĭiscord’s new NSFW marker for servers prevents anyone under 18-years of age from joining, outside of iOS devices. The latest update to Discord allows users to mark servers as NSFW if their community is “organized around NSFW themes or if the majority of the server’s content is 18+.” The NSFW label will also be a requirement going forward.

Gaming-focused chat app Discord will be banning access to NSFW (not safe for work) tagged servers on iOS devices.
