I am a regular user of Wattpad, an online platform for writers and readers. Recently, I discovered that the platform is planning to remove private messages. This decision deeply affects me and many others who use this feature to communicate with friends and share personal conversations.

Private messaging on Wattpad has been a vital tool for thousands of users like me. It's not just about sharing stories; it's about building connections, friendships, and communities. Removing this feature would strip away an essential part of our experience on the platform.

Moreover, according to data from Statista in 2020, Wattpad has over 90 million active users worldwide. If we consider that even a small percentage uses the private messaging feature regularly, we're talking about millions of people affected by this change.

The decision to remove private messages seems arbitrary and without consideration for its impact on users' social interactions within the platform. We ask Wattpad to reconsider their decision based on these reasons.

Please sign this petition if you believe in preserving personal connections on platforms like Wattpad. Together we can make our voices heard.
