Apparently Wattpad is dropping the private messaging feature starting May 6, 2024. They state that it isn’t utilized enough to keep it, yeah whatever. Anyhow, there is a petition to be signed to keep the messaging feature. Below is the link to go to it and sign it.
Like someone said, many people that are too shy to post on the community boards use the private message feature. I personally have connected with many authors through it and would like it to stay around. If you want to connect with someone outside of Wattpad, you will have to disclose personal information for everyone to see and that’s not a good thing!
Go sign the petition!!
