How to easily get a big message button on Twitter

2 min readFeb 9, 2017

Over the past few months, I started to notice a quite a few people had “big message buttons” on their profile. However, I was shocked by how difficult it was to find any tutorials or documentation.

Eventually, I stumbled upon the steps and was shocked by simple it was. Since adding it to my page, a ton of people have direct messaged me asking how I added it — so I wanted to create a super short tutorial.

For reference, this is what my Twitter profile looks like on iOS:

twitter.com/blakeir

Steps:

1) Visit: https://business.twitter.com/i/settings/support

2) Click: “Add business feature”

3) Under “Support account” check the box that says: “Show that my account provides support.” This will automatically prompt you to open your direct messages to the public.

That’s it! It’s super simple! Feel free to message me on Twitter if you run into any issues.

As always, if you are ever interested in chatting more about VC, startups, OR if you want me to write about a specific topic - I'd love to hear from you. If you found this helpful at all, please press recommend to your friends.Twitter: @blakeir
