Gadgetren – Besides being able to upload posts in the form of tweets, Twitter also has a feature Direct Message (DM) which allows users to message each other privately.
This DM feature can also be managed by users who want even more secure privacy by setting it by hiding the message icon button.
Meanwhile, if the DM is made open or open DM, then any Twitter user, whether not following us or following us, will easily send messages.
When the DM is opened, there will be a message button icon listed on our Twitter profile page, allowing many people to access the DM to send messages to our account.
If you are DMed by someone you don’t follow or follow each other, then Twitter will provide a message request with options to accept, delete, or block. Then if you are DMed by someone you follow, then the message will go straight in for you to read and reply to.
You can manage these DM settings via the Settings and Support menu. However, the location of the menu will differ depending on how you access Twitter.
