Discord doesn't give you a way to search old DMs — but if you've ever downloaded your Discord data package, every message you've ever sent is saved inside that ZIP file.

Friendcord reads that package and makes your entire history searchable, filterable, and browsable in seconds.

Step 1: Request your Discord data package

How to request discord data package on discord desktop app

Open Discord → User Settings → Privacy & Safety → Request all of my data. Discord will email you a download link within 30 days (usually much faster).

Step 2: Import it into Friendcord

Add discord data package into friendcord mobile.

Open Friendcord, tap the import button, and select the ZIP file. Everything is processed locally — nothing leaves your device.

Step 3: Search anything

Find exactly what you’re looking for. Search any keyword to pull up a comprehensive list of matching Discord DMs instantly.

Use the Search tab to find any message, person, or keyword across every DM and group chat you've ever been in. Filter by date, media type, or user.

That's it. Your full history is back. Enjoy going back in time.
