Although Twitter allows you to broadcast to everyone by default, you can send a personal message to an individual person.
When you Tweet, your message is just out there for anyone to find and your followers actually receive a copy of your Tweet.
So, if a message is to be personal, you DO NOT Tweet, you talk privately to them by sending them a message. This is called a direct message.
Click the envelope (ME) icon.
You will be prompted to find friends, but don’t tap this, tap the speed bubble with its plus sign (top right). You will be prompted to enter a name. This must be someone who follows you. Their twitter name with the @ symbol will appear.
Tap it and then type your message at the bottom of the screen. Then click SEND.
It’s similar to sending someone a text.
Your messages will appear as a dialogue similar to text messages.
