I'd like to completely disable DMs on twitter, but the option to do so isn't there! I've looked up multiple "how to" articles on this, and they all have screenshots with step-by-step instructions, but what I'm seeing on my screen does not match the instructions. For me, there is no "messages" section in the account settings with the option to turn them off. Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks!

I found an article from 2013 that said that Twitter removed the disable button. So, I think the articles you found are out of date. I couldn't find any way to disable it.

You can turn of having Twitter email you if you get a DM though, under setting > email notifications.
