Twitter has announced that it has added a new setting for direct messages (also known by its acronym in English, DM), with which it hopes to reduce ‘spam’ inbox messages sent by verified users.

This format will cause messages sent by followed users to arrive in the main inbox and messages from verified unfollowed users to enter the message request box.

Until now, for a user to be able to receive direct messages from users who were not included in their ‘Followed’ list, they had to have enabled an option in the configuration section of the platform.

Verified users, those who have the platform’s famous blue badge, the result of their subscription to Twitter Blue, also had the ability to send messages to anyone, which has sometimes generated the distribution of spam.

Likewise, users who at some point had had a conversation in this way could continue to send direct messages, whether or not they followed each other on Twitter, as TechCrunch recalls.

The platform has now implemented a series of changes to its direct message policy, with a setting that delimits the destination of direct messages depending on who sends them.

“Messages from users you follow will arrive in your main inbox and messages from verified users you don’t follow will be sent to your message request inbox,” he added from his Twitter Support account.

This way, users who previously had their permissions set to allow message requests from everyone will now have this feature by default, although they can change this filtering “at any time”.
