Ever since Elon Musk acquired X (formerly Twitter), it has changed a lot. One of the noticeable changes was the introduction of Twitter Blue. Afterward, the company changed the settings for DMs to only allow messages from those who pay for the Twitter Blue subscription. However, you can still change it back to allow direct messages from everyone on Twitter or X, and in this article, you will learn how to do it.
How To Allow Direct Messages From Everyone on Twitter?
If you are receiving a few direct messages and thinking that it’s because users are messaging less, then you are wrong, as it’s because of Twitter’s new changes that allow message requests only from people who pay for Twitter Blue.
