Facebook Message Requests is No More Missed Connections
- 9 years ago
Facebook says goodbye to Other Inbox, hello Message Requests.
And so will we, once the Other Inbox will be replaced by the Message Requests feature worldwide.
If you're wondering what the Other Inbox is, that might give you an idea as to why Facebook decided to kill the largely unsuccessful project.
This is, better yet was, the purgatory where all messages from non-friends went to die.
Many Facebook users didn't even know of its existence, and those who knew rarely bothered to check.
Perhaps also due to the fact that a large slice of the Facebook users pie access the social network from mobile apps.
For mobile apps, the Other Inbox wasn't even integrated in the messaging box.
Thus, a swath of stories of missed reconnections with long lost relatives, missed opportunities to retrieve one's wallet after it was lost and many others.
