Number of DMs that can be sent by non-Blue users may be limited by Twitter soon

San Francisco: Twitter, a microblogging service, is reportedly aiming to restrict the number of direct messages (DMs) non-Blue users are permitted to send each day.

Leaker Alessandro Paluzzi tweeted on Tuesday: "#Twitter is working to limit the number of DMs you can send per day before having to sign up for @TwitterBlue."

According to the screenshot shared by the leaker, after reaching the limit, non-Twitter Blue users will receive a message titled "Get verified to send more messages".

"You've hit the maximum limit for Direct Messages in a single day. Sign up for Twitter Blue to continue messaging," the message reads.

Furthermore, the leaker said that currently, the limit is 500 DMs per day, but "I bet this limit will be reduced when this will be rolled out".

Twitter owner Elon Musk on Monday said that the platform will "hopefully" roll out a new update this week, which will limit the ability to send DMs to people who don't follow you to Blue users.

Last week, Musk had said that Twitter will soon start paying creators on the platform for the ads served in their replies.
