We're not planning on adding private messaging since that's never really been a feature on Fandom (aside from chat, where it's in real time). But we do hope that we can eventually introduce a way so users can contact each other directly, no matter whether they're on the app or on desktop. It's not decided yet what that will look like, but it could for example be a mobile version of message walls that also triggers notifications on-site and in the app if a message comes in.
