Users of the micro-blogging platform Twitter have reported that the option to send direct messages to another account directly from a profile page on Android and iOS applications have been removed.
The “DM” button, which usually appears next to the follow and notification buttons, has disappeared without any replacement, reported 9To5Google. It is uncertain if this change was intentional on the part of the platform.
However, users can still send direct messages by looking up the desired account in the messages tab.
Last week, Twitter boss Elon Musk announced that a higher-priced subscription to the microblogging platform with no ads would be available in the coming weeks.
He also revealed that the upcoming platform update would make it less mandatory for users to use the “For You” algorithmic timeline.
