Direct Message (DM)

What is Direct Message (DM)?

A direct message, or DM as they are often called, is a private message or conversation that occurs within social media apps. Messages within ‘the DMs’ can generally take place between any account types (business and personal) and are only visible to the sender and recipient.

How to use direct messages?

Most social media platforms have their own direct messaging tools which can be used to send a message to someone that you may or may not follow. Many consumers online rely on social media when it comes to getting through to businesses and often expect an immediate response. Direct messages are ideal for one-on-one communication where there is lots of back and forth.
