There is a whole vault of unseen Facebook messages in your inbox you didn’t even know existed.
So, you know how you see "message requests" in your Facebook messenger inbox? This is when someone isn't friends with you and sends you a message. If you don't know what we're talking about, click here.
Well, Facebook does some filtering of its own to decide which messages even pop up in that request section in the first place. Think of it like your email automatically sifts out spam.
This means there are potentially a huge pile of unseen (and unanswered) messages that didn’t make the “message request” cut. Who knows? Some of them might be useful.
Prepare to be like "OMG LOOK AT ALL OF THESE".
1. Click on your Messenger app and go to the Settings button at the top (or bottom, depending on whether you’re using Apple or Android).
2.Then go to “People”
3. Click on “Message requests”
4. From there, scroll to the bottom of the page where you’ll see a button “See filtered requests.”
Go for it. Have your mind blown.
