How to Direct Messages Users

Direct messages are private spaces for close friends. You can video, audio, and text chat, play games, and share content just like in a Cantina room. Unlike Cantina rooms, direct messages have no room roles. 

To send a direct message to one member on iOS and Android:

1. Send an individual direct message by tapping on a member’s avatar.
2. Select Send Message (iOS) and Message (Android).
3. Start typing your message. 

To send a direct message to one member on Web:

1. Navigate to the "People" section.
2. Select a member's avatar to send an individual direct message.

To customize who can send you a direct message on iOS and Android: 

1. Navigate to your Profile. 
2. Tap Settings in the top right. 
3. Tap Privacy
4. Decide who can send you message requests.

• • If you choose Everyone on Cantina, you can be messaged or added to groups by everyone except people you've blocked. 
  • If you choose Only People I Follow, you can't be messaged or added to groups by anyone you don't follow.

Note: Customizing your direct messaging is currently unavailable on the web.
