How to Switch on Direct Messaging Feature

Our live, direct messaging feature let creators and fans chat in real time. It's a great way to communicate directly with your loyal fans and subscribers. You can choose to allow followers, subscribers or both to send you a message directly from your profile. If your fan speaks a different language, we will translate their message to your chosen language and show them your reply in their language, instantly. 

The feature is optional and can be switched on by following these steps:

Step 1. Click the 'chat' icon in the header bar

Step 2. The pop up box is your inbox. To activate the DM feature, click 'Profile Features'

Step 3. Scroll down to the 'Direct Messaging' features. Use the toggle to switch it on and select if you want followers and subscribers to send a DM or just subscribers. 

Step 4. Click 'Update Profile' to save your settings.
