Message requests can be managed from the Message Inbox or by selecting Message Requests at the bottom of the screen.
Before you can exchange messages with another member, you'll need to send a Message Request. Once the member accepts your request, you'll be able to send messages to the member. Similarly, when another member wants to send a Direct Message to you, they'll first send a Message Request, which you will need to approve in order to exchange messages with the member. Once a contact is approved, no further approval is required to continue exchanging messages.
If you block a member and then remove them from your blocked contacts, you will receive a Message Request if they contact you again and be asked to approve, ignore, or block the request.
Select Messages, then select Create a Message to start a new conversation. You'll see the New Message pop-up window.
When you search for members to Direct Message, you'll only see other members who have downloaded and logged into the app.
Choose the member, then send your request.
Back in your Message Inbox, you'll be able to see the request you sent. To take back a message request, tap the Unsend icon.
