JAKARTA - A few weeks ago, Meta announced it was testing the Direct Message (DM) feature in Threads. Now, finally Meta has released the feature widely to its users.
Meta says that initially people will only be able to send messages to users who have followed them or shared followers from Instagram.
Nonetheless, the tech giant plans to roll out more customizable inbox controls in the next update.
Towards the end of the second year, we launched DM and added a new design display highlighting unique ideas and trending conversations. There will be more," said Instagram Chief Adam Mosseri in his announcement on Threads.
Even though it has been launched widely, it seems that this DM feature will not be available to underage users. This means that this feature will only be available to Threads users over 18 years of age.
In addition, DM Threads will also not support group messaging for now, although it appears that this capability is also being worked on for future updates.

Previously, Mosseri had also revealed an update to the Hidden Words settings in Threads, which presents a new custom filter that allows users around the world to block word, phrase, and emoji at once in large.
"Threads aims to create space for open perspective exchanges, and for that people need to be able to form experiences that make them comfortable expressing themselves. This is an additional idea to support those goals," he said.
