You have the ability to send a private message to another user and this message will only be visible to you and that user.
Messages appear in a private conversation in order of which they are sent. New messages are marked with an orange dot (on iOS) or are bolded (Android, Web).
You can also delete private messages, but once deleted, these messages cannot be restored.
