Tap Channel under "Instant Invite". This button will let you select a chat channel for your invite on this server. You can invite users to the #general chat, or another channel on the same server.
6
Select an expiration date for your invite under "Expire After". You can set your invite link to expire in 30 minutes, 6 hours, or 1 day.
- If you select Never, your invite link will never expire. This means you can use this link anytime in the future to invite and add users to your channel.
7
Select a maximum number of uses for your invite under "Max Uses". You can choose to set your invite to expire after 1 use, 10 uses, or 100 uses. Your invite link will not work after it's been used for the set number of maximum uses.

Slide the Temporary Membership switch to
position. When temporary membership is set to On position for an invite, invited users will be automatically kicked from the chat when they disconnect.

Tap the Share button next to the invite link. It looks like three dots connected by two lines in the upper-right corner of your screen. It will bring up a pop-up menu to select an app for sharing your invite.
11
Select an app from the pop-up menu. You can share your invite link on messaging and social media apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, and Signal. It will open your selected app and bring up a list of your contacts.
12
Select a friend to invite. Scroll down your contacts list and tap on the friend you want to invite to your Discord chat channel.
- If your contact doesn't have a Discord account, they will have to sign up for an account before they can join your channel.
13
Send your invite. Tap the Send button in the app you're using. Once your friend receives and clicks the link, they will be able to join your Discord chat channel.
