According to Purdue's Online Writing Lab (OWL):
"Emails, phone conversations, text messages, and social media messages are all examples of personal communication. No personal communication is included in your reference list; instead, parenthetically cite the communicator's name, the phrase 'personal communication,' and the date of the communication in your main text only.
For example:
(E. Robbins, personal communication, January 4, 2001).
A. P. Smith also claimed that many of her students had difficulties with APA style (personal communication, November 3, 2002).
