If not, this article will teach you how. First of all, you should follow the Twitter guidelines when DMing someone. You shouldn&#8217;t follow people who don&#8217;t follow you back. After all, you don&#8217;t want to get into a fight, right? In this article, you&#8217;ll learn how to DM someone who doesn&#8217;t follow you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DMing_people_who_dont_follow_you\"><\/span>DMing people who don&#8217;t follow you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to DM people on Twitter &#8211; you can either follow them or request they follow you. If you follow them, they will automatically be notified when you send them a DM. If you don&#8217;t follow them, you can send them a DM in a separate tab. You can even choose to send them a DM in a private conversation. The first way is the most obvious one.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with mass DMs is that it&#8217;s not legitimate. Twitter doesn&#8217;t let you mass DM people, so many people are hesitant to use this feature. Besides, it can cause problems, especially if you are sending them many of the same message. Twitter will flag your messages as spam if you send them too many times, so you may want to limit your DMs to a few.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking_people_who_dont_follow_you\"><\/span>Blocking people who don&#8217;t follow you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have many followers and you want to remove some of them from your list, you might be wondering how to block people on Twitter who don&#8217;t already follow you. Well, you can simply block these people from viewing your tweets. Just go to your profile and click on the three dots next to the person&#8217;s name. Then, click on the option to block@username. This will make your account private for this person to see.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been having trouble following people on Twitter, you can always soft block them. While this doesn&#8217;t make you invisible, it does prevent them from following you in the future. However, if you block them permanently, they will most likely return. That&#8217;s because a soft block doesn&#8217;t prevent them from following you again &#8211; they just won&#8217;t know it. That means you could be opening yourself up to retaliation from their secondary account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Messages_sent_to_accounts_that_dont_follow_you\"><\/span>Messages sent to accounts that don&#8217;t follow you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Twitter has recently added a new feature that will allow you to read the direct messages sent to your account by people who don&#8217;t follow you. You can now preview these messages in your &#8220;Requests&#8221; inbox, accept or reject them, and even delete them. This new feature comes as a result of Facebook adding a similar feature to the Messenger app in October 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Direct messages from Twitter have a limit of 1,000 per day. If you&#8217;re sending a lot of DMs to accounts that don&#8217;t follow you, Twitter may ask you to verify your phone number to continue. Once you&#8217;ve reached this limit, you can try again in 24 hours. You&#8217;ll be notified when you&#8217;ve reached the limit, and you can then try sending messages to your non-followers again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sending_a_DM_to_an_account_that_doesnt_follow_you\"><\/span>Sending a DM to an account that doesn&#8217;t follow you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in sending a DM to someone you don&#8217;t follow on Twitter is to enable this feature. If you can&#8217;t send a direct message to a non-follower, it may be because they are blocking you. You can still reply to these messages, but you won&#8217;t be able to reply to those from a non-follower.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re following someone on Twitter, you&#8217;ll notice a blue DM button on their profile. This is where you send a private message. Once you&#8217;ve written your message, the person who doesn&#8217;t follow you will see it. You can also DM a group of people, but only if they allow it. If they don&#8217;t allow DMs, you&#8217;ll need to ask them to enable it.<\/p>\n<p>Before you send a DM to a non-follower on Twitter, you&#8217;ll need to verify the account&#8217;s phone number. Twitter will notify you if you&#8217;ve reached your limit. You can then send the message again after 24 hours. And if you&#8217;re concerned about spammers, you can choose to add a phone number to your account and check it out.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-9m2ylpsXyQ\" width=\"502\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to DM Someone on Twitter Who Doesn&#8217;t Follow You Do you know how to DM someone on Twitter who doesn&#8217;t yet follow you?
