Messages
Learn how to send messages from a profile or from search results, and how to delete conversations from your inbox.
Quick actions
Tip: A short, specific first message usually gets better replies than a generic opener.
Send messages
You can message someone from their profile, or send a quick message directly from search.
Message from a profile
- Open the profile you want to message.
- Scroll to the message area on the profile page.
- Tap inside the message field and write your message.
- Press Send.
Quick message from search
- Run a search and browse the results.
- Use the action menu under a profile card.
- Click the envelope icon to open the quick message window.
- Write a short message and press Send.
Where to find your messages
All messages you send and receive are stored in your inbox. If you don’t see a reply right away, give it time and keep your messages respectful and specific.
If you can’t send a message
- Make sure you’re signed in
- Check if your account has the required access
- Try again after refreshing the page
Delete conversations
Keep your inbox tidy by removing conversations you no longer want to keep.
How to delete a conversation
- Open your Inbox.
- Hover or tap on the conversation you want to remove.
- Select the trash icon and confirm.
Good to know
- Deleting a conversation removes it from your inbox view
- If you want to stop contact, consider blocking the member
- If something feels unsafe, report the member first
If you’re deleting due to harassment or scam attempts, report first so patterns can be reviewed.
Use the Inbox option in the top navigation after you sign in. That’s where all your conversations live.
Try hovering over the conversation (desktop) or tapping the conversation options (mobile). If it still doesn’t appear, refresh the page and try again.
Delete is mainly for inbox cleanup. If someone is disrespectful, pressuring, or unsafe, blocking is the better option. If it’s harassment, scams, or explicit content, report first.
