Facebook: they discover a '' secret '' inbox

It is a Facebook inbox that you have probably never seen since you used this social network and I must confess that I did not know it myself. The purpose of this inbox is to filter messages that Facebook considers "irrelevant" or that are not of interest to you. Does Facebook now know what people are interested in? .

Where is the "secret mailbox".

Specifically, this "secret" Facebook inbox is located at the following location: facebook.com/messages/other

Somehow this mailbox would work similarly to the Spam filter of any email such as Outlook or Gmail, which filters messages automatically and which are mostly junk, but apparently this filter would not work as well as in the case of the two email services listed above, so there may be important messages from which you have not received notifications.

Online there have already been many people complaining about this problem, from those who could not find out about the death of a relative, to the case of this woman who lost her passport last year and could not see 10 messages from a person who wanted to return it. For this social network, these types of messages are not "important".

It is possible that there are not many cases as extreme as the previous ones and we do not even have any message in this "secret mailbox" on Facebook, but it would be interesting if the service made clear the existence of this functionality that is too hidden for most users.. At the time of writing these lines the company has not yet responded to this problem and the complaints of users who have been harmed.
