How to use DM (direct message) correctly [closed]

DM stands for Direct Message. It is used on social media sites and services, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Discord. You could also say PM (Private Message). In social media sites, there are often groups/ servers in which there are loads of people and if you want to send someone a private message (so other people do not see it), you tell them to check their DM's (Direct Messages). It is a private form of communication between social media users that is only visible to the sender and recipient (or recipients. depends on who you add to DM's). It is a noun.

For example: Send the files by direct message (or DM). (DM is used as a noun)

However, in informal situations, the abbreviated form (i.e. DM) is also used as a verb.

For example: DM the details to me.
