Do You Know That There Is An Inbox You Didn’t Even Know You Had?

If you’ve been a Facebook user for a while, then you probably have a folder full of unread messages
that you didn’t even know you had: the “Message Requests” folder (formerly, the “Other” folder.)
This is where Facebook sends all the messages from people you’re not currently friends with. It could
be filled with old high school flings reaching out or a bunch of Nigerian spammers, who knows?!
Only one way to find out!
To review these messages, follow these steps:
1. click the “messages” icon at the top of your home screen (a chat icon with the Messenger
lightning icon in the middle).
2. By default, you’ll find yourself in the “Recent” tab of your inbox.
3. Directly to the right, you’ll find the “Message Requests” tab.
4. After you click this, you may see a link that says “See filtered requests.”
5. Click that and then you’ll see all sorts of messages from strangers on the internet.
Have fun with that!
