DMs & Friends
Direct messages and friends keep your closest conversations one click away, with controls that put you in charge of who can reach you.
Direct & group DMs
Message anyone directly, or start a group DM with several people. DMs support the same reactions, replies, and rich formatting as channels.
Friends & requests
Add friends by username, manage incoming and outgoing requests, and see your friends' presence at a glance in the friends list.
Message requests
Messages from people you're not friends with arrive in a separate requests inbox, so you can accept or ignore them without unwanted DMs interrupting you.
Blocking & ignoring
Block a user to cut off contact entirely, or quietly ignore someone to hide their messages without them knowing — your call, your space.
DM actions
All the message tools you expect work in DMs too — copy a link, forward a message, react, and reply.
