DM stands for “direct message.” As a verb, “DM me” asks someone to send a message through a platform’s messaging feature.

What Does DM Mean? 

“DM me the details instead of posting them here.”

A direct message has a smaller audience than a public post, but the recipient may be able to copy or share it.
