DM (Direct Message)

A DM, or Direct Message, is a private message sent between users on a social media platform that isn’t visible to the public. It’s a way to have one-on-one conversations, share information, or connect more personally outside of public posts and comments.

DMs are popular for everything from casual chats and networking to customer service and influencer collaborations. Because they’re private, DMs offer a space for more personal, detailed, or sensitive communication—making them a key tool for building relationships and handling conversations that require discretion.
