Once you add friends on Here, you'll be able to chat with them directly. Direct messages are chats sent between you and your friend only. They will not be seen by anyone else in the room. So if you have a secret that you only want your bestie to know, send them a quick dm!
Direct messages can be accessed while in a room or in the lobby, so you can chat with your friends from anywhere. You can do everything in a DM that you can do in our regular chatbox including sending emojis, GIFs, and images. You'll also get a notification whenever they send you a new message.
And check out our Safety Tips before sending or accepting a friend request and sending a DM.
