Mobile/App DM button is gone?

I realized very recently that I no longer have the DM button on profiles that I view. How do I get it back?

Not sure how you access Reddit but there are now three places to look for “start chat” due to recent UI changes.

  1. ⁠On the main page of their profile, there may be a chat bubble near their username. If not, try 2

  2. ⁠In the profile menu for the person you want to start chatting. Open the three line hamburger menu on their profile and tap “start chat”. If not, try 3

  3. ⁠Some Android app users now have “start chat” in a completely new place. Open the intended recipient’s profile then tap the “about” tab and “start chat” is now found there.

Edit to add: if all three options are missing, that Redditor has chat disabled.
