Direct messages are private one-on-one conversations with another BeatPass user. You can start them from the messaging panel, from user profiles, and from claimed producer pages that expose a Message button.

​
Starting a New Conversation

​
From the messaging panel

1

Click the message icon

Open the messaging panel from the top navigation.
2

Create a new message

Click New.
3

Find the user

Search by name, username, email, or producer name, then select the person you want.
4

Send the first message

Type your message and press Enter or use the send button.
When the search field is empty, BeatPass suggests people you already follow first.

​
From a profile or producer page

  1. Visit the profile or claimed producer page
  2. Click Message
  3. The messaging panel opens with that user selected
  4. Type your message and send
If a direct conversation already exists, BeatPass reuses it instead of creating a duplicate thread.

Direct message threads show:
  • The other person’s avatar and name
  • The latest message preview in the conversation list
  • Unread badges
  • Hover-visible timestamps
  • Sent, Seen, Sending..., or Failed states for your own messages
Opening the conversation marks unread messages as read and updates the unread badge count.
