Direct Messages (Personal and Group)
Most conversations in Pumble do happen in channels, but direct messages (DMs) are useful for conversations which don’t require an entire channel to be engaged in. Direct messages represent smaller conversations happening outside channels which can involve you and up to seven other team members.

Your personal direct message #
In Pumble, your personal DM resembles a notepad. Here you can record notes and ideas, or simply use this space for whatever you could possibly need.
- Your personal DM will always be on the top of the top of the Direct messages list.
- From the Home screen icon, you will find your own DM on the top of the Direct messages list.
For iOS devices, if you get a message (DM or posted in channel) that contains the link from some other application (for example a YouTube video), then the link will open in the YouTube application you have installed on your phone.
