How do I Direct message another account follower that is not a Pro user? Am I able to do so if they are not Pro? Are Direct Messages completely Private? Can't find any info on my questions here. HELP!

@elaineylacy2 same way...the direct is there on a non pro account

@elaineylacy2

Yes.
Many ways.

From their profile, (three vertical dots)
From the text box, click on the globe, at the bottom.

@elaineylacy2

pro users can initiate DMs to non pro users, and once initiated, non pro can respond, and ya can have a back n forth conversation

to initiate a DM:

change the privacy status from public 🌎 to DM ✉️ (tip: always do this *first* lest you forget) and at-mention the user (or users) you wish to DM

all users mentioned can see the DM, but other than that, they are completely private

👍

@opie
I'm a dummy. Need walked through how to do all this. Don't see where to change from Public to DM. UGH

@elaineylacy2

DMs are only able to be *started* by a Pro user, but may be sent to and answered by anu user.

Yes, DMs are 100% private to those mentioned by @ username (meaning you can DM multiple ppl in the same message).

DM options in your settings will also allow them to be auto-deleted from the server. See "ADMS - Automatic Direct Message Scrubber (Pro Account)" on your preferences page:
