Messages is DeviantArt’s private communication feature, designed to help you quickly connect with other deviants. Whether you’re sharing creative ideas or chatting about your newest Exclusive deals, Messages makes conversations more engaging, streamlined, and fun!

With real-time chats, you can share rich media like GIFs, formatting, embedded links, and, of course, drawings. Emoji reactions, inline replies, and typing indicators keep conversations lively, while push notifications on DeviantArt’s web app ensure you never miss a beat.

Messages are organized and easy to navigate, with helpful tools like keyword search, sorting, and filters for Unread, Archived, Requests, and more. Privacy and spam features — including blocking, muting, and request-filtering — give you complete control over who can communicate with you.

Beyond one-on-one chats, Messages also supports Group Chats and Channels, letting you start group conversations and interact with your wider community.
