Where are Notes and Chat?
Private messaging on DeviantArt got a major upgrade: Messages!
Accessing past Notes and Chats
You can easily view a read-only version of your Notes or download a ZIP file of all your past Chats anytime. Just visit your Messages and then click the “...” dropdown in the top navigation bar.
Keep in mind that while you can currently search your Notes in read-only mode, search results only include Notes from the past year. After December 2nd, 2026 (one year after Notes moved to read-only), you won’t be able to search any Notes, but you’ll still be able to read them.
