To enable or disable Direct Message (DM) requests on Twitter, follow these steps:

2. **Access Privacy and Safety Settings**: Click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the screen to open the account menu. From the dropdown menu, select "Settings and privacy".

3. **Navigate to Privacy and Safety Settings**: In the "Settings and privacy" menu, navigate to the "Privacy and safety" section. This section contains various privacy settings for your Twitter account.

4. **Access Direct Messages Settings**: In the "Privacy and safety" section, scroll down until you find the "Direct Messages" heading. Under the "Direct Messages" heading, you'll see options related to who can send you Direct Messages.

5. **Edit Direct Messages Settings**: To enable or disable DM requests, click on the "Receive messages from anyone" option. This option controls whether anyone on Twitter can send you Direct Message requests, even if they're not following you.

6. **Toggle the Setting**: Toggle the switch to enable or disable DM requests as desired. If the switch is turned on (blue), anyone on Twitter can send you Direct Message requests, even if they're not following you. If the switch is turned off (gray), only users who you follow and who follow you back can send you Direct Message requests.

7. **Save Changes**: After making your selection, be sure to click the "Save changes" button at the bottom of the page to apply your changes.

That's it! You've successfully enabled or disabled DM requests on Twitter. Depending on your preference for privacy and communication, you can adjust this setting to control who can send you Direct Message requests on the platform.
