Facebook has a secret folder that’s full of messages it thinks its users don’t want to see…
Last year, the company revamped its Messenger service to get rid of the old system, which categorizes messages into ones that people might want to see in an “Inbox” and “Other”.

It swapped it instead of the normal messages and a folder called “Message Requests”, a place where strangers can ask to contact users.
However, there is still another folder that keeps people from seeing every message they’ve been sent…
According to Independence, the hidden messages reside in a special folder called “Filtered Message Requests” and the name refers to the fact that it seems to use technology to hide away messages that it thinks people don’t want to see.
Hmm, interesting.
Try opening up the Messenger app and head to the Settings tab at the bottom. There, you’ll find a “People” option. Click that, choose “Messages Requests” and select the option to see “filtered requests”.
Are you trying it?
This feature does accurately spot spam messages, meaning that most of the things you’ll find there are likely to be ads of creepy, random messages.
But others have reported missing information about deaths or other important events. Alamak!
Have you tried checking your messages? What do you think about this messaging feature by Facebook, is it a yay or nay?
