DM stands for Direct Message. Discord allows the users to contact a specific friend directly. This person-to-person message can also be called a private message. You can send Direct Messages to a friend or group of friends. When DM’ing a single person, you cannot change the DM name, as the chat consists of two persons, and the name for DM is usually the Username of the person. Whereas in group messaging, one can change the DM name and icon in order to customize it. Such customization would help in differentiating between groups, especially when there are plenty of them.
