Hot Tip: Chat with friends on Threads

Want to chat about a friend’s post without all the public replies? Now you can take your Threads exchanges to a more private space. Direct messaging is now available on Threads and as long as you’re following each other mutually, you’ll be able to have conversations – just between you two.

Getting started is a breeze. Simply update your app to the most recent version to access DMs via the navigation bar. Tap the messages tab, and then the new message icon in the upper-right corner. Search for your friend’s username, type up your icebreaker, and hit send to kickstart your first Threads conversation.
