Facebook Messages - Other Folder No More

Options
I have noticed that the "other folder" where any messages from non friends go is not there any more.

You now have the option of "Recent" "Message Requests" and "More"

If you click the "more" drop down you then have the option of "Unread" "Filtered" and "Archived"

No idea what filtered is supposed to be but I found a message in there from last week for a non-friend plus all the previous messages from non friends seem to be listed in there.

I assume this is now where your previous "other"messages will now go?

    Does anyone know if you get any sort of notification now from a message sent by either a non friend or a liked page?

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    Well I didn't from the message in my "filtered" folder. Not even a bracketed number to show one new unread.

    message requests you do, filtered are where you had a request and chose to ignore it
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

  • All messages that used to be found in other are now in filtered. So click on more and then filtered to double check for comp wins. I've found a couple of wins in there since other disappeared so thats obviously where they're going if not in inbox. just check filtered each time you check inbox.
