Facebook to come up with Message Requests on Messenger.
Facebook Inc. is now coming up with its Message Requests that will be available on the company’s instant messaging app “Messenger”. This option will completely replace the “Other” inbox option present on the website. The Vice President of Facebook, Mr. Dave Marcus took the opportunity to announce about the new feature in the company’s recent post. Message Requests for the Messenger app will enable all the users to message whoever they wish by simply using their actual name on the social media platform. So in case the users are actually discoverable on the platform then they will now have more access to who can actually approach them to start a conversation. So now that the company has come up with Message Requests, it is actually in good shape to completely discard the Other folder completely. The folder was not a very prominent feature of the messaging option since it was camouflaged in a corner on FB that could only be accessed while using the desktop version of social media. So far nobody could access the Other option while using Messenger. The idea why the tech giant has come up with this new option is that strangers can get a platform to contact anyone with an optimistic vision that this will assist in uniting long lost contacts and “estranged parents”. But the good thing is that Facebook users have the choice of ignoring or accepting the message requests anonymously. By accepting the request a message is sent particularly to the main folder for inboxes. However, under any circumstances Facebook has vowed to take care of the spam messages but all those requests that cannot go to the inbox will fall in the Messages Request option. To explain it simply, the messages that are obtained will be rerouted to the users inbox if the users become/are friends on Facebook or have each other’s contact related information on their device or if they have an open thread with the person. Similar to the existing friends on Facebook, users will be able to see the messages by strangers on the main inbox and then will also be notified regarding the messages once they have accepted the Message Request. According to Mr. Dave Marcus, this is actually a “a foundational development,” where the company is extremely devoted to increasing the connectivity amongst the people. So now soon we will encounter an updated Messenger and will be able to control the Message Request.
