Generally, you can send a DM to anyone who follows you. But there are some exceptions. If the person doesn't follow you but has opted-in to receive DMs from anyone, you can send them a DM. Or, if you have exchanged DMs with that person in the past, you can send them a DM even if they're not following you.

To Send message on Twitter:
  • Open the Twitter app.
  • Tap the envelope icon on the lower left-hand side of the screen, and click it again within your messages screen to start a new chat.
  • Search for the user you’d like to message.
  • Type your message, then tap send.
Always think before you send a Twitter DM because once you click send, there’s no turning back. While you can delete messages for all users in a chat on certain apps, you can’t do so on this platform. So before you shower love messages on a celebrity crush, think about it. You won’t be able to unsend DMs. That said, you can delete messages on your end of a chat by simply clicking on the message and tapping “Delete.”

Sometimes, Twitter users reach out with kind words or support for your business, project or content. But, if someone hits you up with an inappropriate or offensive message, report this contact and prevent it from happening again.
