I might publish the Hogwarts Alpha new rewrite chapters later, idk when

TeddyRacks23

If you don't see a book that I had originally posted, then that means I unpublished it, stop coming into my message board asking where the book has gone, 
          
          If you have been reading my announcements, then you would know that I'm rewriting books and won't be uploading books until after I'm finished with a season or movie

Why does Wattpad think we care that we can still receive messages from them, like bro, you took away our of privately talking with each other, some of us use PRIVATE MESSAGES to talk with others about their books and you took that away from us, 
          
          FOR WHAT
          
          Why would we talk with each other about books in our message board or in the comments of our books, someone could see the message and get a spoiler
          
          Bro, bring back our messages, there is no reason for you to take away our messages

I will be saying this again, from now on I will not be updating my books until I finish with a season or a movie because I’ve been changing my mind about things I want in my book, so I keep unpublishing and publishing chapters, and books over and over again so people would see what's new when they don’t notice half of the time
          
          With that being said, Shameless Legacies Love is going to be taken down for Rewriting again

This is what I found out about private/direct messaging from Wattpad support
          
          Direct messaging is a way for Wattpad to communicate with you directly. Only Wattpad-affiliated accounts will be able to reach out to you to inform you of any upcoming changes to your account, potential research you can be a part of, or program opportunities. 
          
          Why was the Direct Messaging feature removed? 
          
          Wattpad is first and foremost a platform to read and write original stories, and we have transformed the way the world reads and writes fiction. Providing a platform to cultivate writing and reading communities has always been our top priority.
          
          While dynamic, open commenting has always been embraced by our users, direct messaging has only been relevant to a small percentage of our global user base. 
          
          Users can still communicate via commenting on stories and profiles. Writers will also still be able to connect with their followers to share news and updates via their writer profile.
          
          What happens to old messages?  
          
          All direct messages will be deleted once the Direct Messaging feature is removed on May 6, 2024.
          
          Can I save my direct messages? 
          
          There is no download feature for existing messages and we cannot retrieve this data for you. 
          
          You can review and access your Direct Messages until May 6, 2024. After that time, all messages will be deleted and the feature will no longer be available. 
          
          How else can I stay connected with readers and writers on Wattpad? 
          
          Wattpad users can connect via the public commenting feature on stories and in the Conversations section of profile pages.  
          
          Wattpad used Direct Messages to connect with authors. How will you now send direct information to users? 
          
          Wattpad will still have the ability to send direct messages to users. In the future, any direct message you receive will only be from Wattpad HQ. No other person will be able to send you a direct message.
          
          You will not be able to respond to direct messages from Wattpad HQ.

          On May 6, 2024 0:00:00 UTC, user-to-user private messaging will no longer be a feature on Wattpad and existing conversations will be deleted. You will still be able to receive messages from Wattpad-affiliated accounts

@TeddyRacks23 Yes I could but the problem is that my cell phone is being repaired I am using my PC to talk to the other authors but can we do anything to reverse this situation like making a petition so that privatemessages are not deleted ?

I think from now on I will not be updating my books until I finish with a season or a movie because I’ve been changing my mind about things I want in my book and I keep unpublishing and publishing them back over and over again so people would see what's new, when they don’t notice half of the time
