Why Can’t I Reply To A X Direct Message?

If you want to reply to a Tweet with a Direct Message (DM) but are unable to, here's a possible reason:

• By default, you can only send DMs to profiles that follow you on Twitter unless they have direct messages from everyone enabled in their X account settings.

A workaround is to Tweet your DM link in a reply to the user you want to message, or ask them to follow you.

You can also check out Twitter's Direct Message FAQs for other queries.

Note: There is a limit of 500 Direct Messages sent per day. Once you reach this limit, you can't send any more DMs for the day.
