Mon 30 January 2023:
Twitter, a microblogging platform, is said to have removed the option for users to send a direct message to another account directly from a profile page on the Android and iOS apps. When a number of users witnessed users reporting for the same, the change was noticed.
The “DM” button, which usually appears next to the follow and notification buttons, has disappeared without any replacement, as per the 9To5Google report.
This seems to be the situation for all Twitter accounts and is probably just a small bug.
It is difficult to figure out whether this was done on purpose by the platform given the way the service is now run.
In the meantime, users can still send direct messages by searching for the desired account in the messages tab, according to the report.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, announced last week that a higher-priced subscription to the microblogging platform with no ads will be available in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Musk announced that the platform’s upcoming update will make it less necessary for users to use the “For You” algorithmic timeline.
