VSCO is a community for creators, a place to realize your creative potential alongside other people around the world. To bring the community together, we’re proud to introduce some new updates to Messages.
Meant for learning and sharing inspiration, Messages can be used to exchange editing tips, share compelling profiles and published content, and receive creative feedback from peers!
Now paid Members can send unlimited messages to anyone on VSCO directly from their profile. Free users can start unlimited conversations with creators that follow them and up to 3 per day with creators that don’t.
Make the most of Messages
1. Start a collaborative project.
2. Ask a creator about their process.
3. Invite contributors to your space.

Staying safe with Messages
We have built in some safety controls and preferences with creator safety in mind.
When you receive a message, you will have the following options:
Accept - This will allow you to interact with the message sender.
Ignore - If you “ignore” a message, it will be removed from your Messages inbox. The message sender will not receive a notification.
Block - This will block the creator from following, messaging, or interacting with your account. No notification will be sent to the blocked creator. Reporting options will also appear once you block a message sender if you believe the creator is in violation of our Community Guidelines.
You also have the option to limit the messages you receive to only people you follow.
