Part of Be read
Messages
Direct and group messages for the conversations that should stay private.
Messages keep the one-to-one and small-group talk off the public feed. Send a draft link, plan a sprint, or trade notes with the people you are working with.
Reading and replying are free. Starting a direct message is part of Pro. Threads carry read receipts, typing, mute and archive, search, and block-from-thread, with links and emoji in every message.

- Read and reply to any message you receive, free.
- Start direct and group threads with Pro.
- See read receipts and typing, and mute, archive, or clear a thread.
