pixiv has updated the Privacy Policy as of June 13, 2023.Revision history
Greetings from pixiv.
From Monday, October 24th, 2022, we'll be releasing a feature in the message settings for both the desktop and mobile versions of pixiv, where you'll be able to select which accounts can start new message threads with you.
The feature will be available to all users from day one.
■ About message settings
Many members of our community have told us how much receiving messages of thanks or support encourages them in their creative work, and how messaging helps them deepen exchanges with other users.
However, some people have said that they would like more flexible options for whether or not to receive messages, or that they would prefer to only receive messages from verified accounts, regarding creative activities.
Up until now, by default, a given user receives messages from all other users, but with this update, you'll be able to select whether you'd like to receive messages from "All accounts" or "Only pixiv verified accounts".
■ What are pixiv verified accounts?
pixiv verified accounts are the accounts of companies or organizations whose identity was confirmed by pixiv, and also accounts managed by pixiv.
Sometimes you might receive messages from verified Accounts regarding rankings, offers, etc.
