TL;DR To make messaging on Reddit faster and more reliable, we’re replacing Private Messages (PMs) with Reddit Chat and inbox notifications. This transition is necessary to maintain and improve Reddit’s messaging infrastructure. We aim to make these changes with minimal disruption while improving the user experience.

Timeline: Starting at the end of March, we’ll roll out these changes in phases over the next three months to ensure everything goes smoothly

    They are changing this as part of getting rid of PMs:

    • Old Reddit will receive small UI updates to allow users to access all information previously provided via PMs
    • New button to access the notifications inbox, which will badge if notifications are received
    • Chat button will badge if new chats are received
    • The PM UI on Old Reddit will be discontinued within the same timeframe from other platforms once the migration has been completed.
