Facebook might have been an integral
part of your social media world, but you might have never seen this folder.
Some users have reported that they noticed this folder accidentally while
others are surprise that such a folder exists.
This secret folder is called ‘other’
and might contain important messages that need immediate attention. Facebook
claims that this message feature has been introduced to filter spam messages
sent to users.
The inbox feature is designed to
handle span and help protect facebook users from spam message. In order to have
access to this 'other' folder, the users need to go the Facebook page. In the
left-side panel, users need to click Messages.
Now, next to the boldfaced word
"Inbox," the user will see a light gray word "Other." The
users need to click it to see their hidden stock of messages. According to
interviews done by various firms of existing Facebook users, many were
surprised at how much important information has been waiting filtered in this
folder.
In addition, most Facebook users
would be surprised to know that their messages are marked as spam when sent to someone
who's not one of their Facebook friends. Though Facebook claims that this programme
is intended to eliminate spam, sometime users might feel the reverse.
Hence, if you are active Facebook
user, it is important that ‘OTHER’ folder in Inbox need to be monitored
frequently.
