How to find your filtered Facebook messages (and a lot of spam) Find filtered messages in Facebook Messenger This is not immediately obvious and you may be missing messages you actually want to read - personally, I found nothing but spam going back a few years, so no harm done (and a hat tip to Facebook for sparing me the effort of dealing with this trash), but your situation may be different. With the roll-out of “Message Requests” messaged from these strangers - and spam - end up in a section for “Filtered” messages. Before Facebook introduced “Message Requests” to let you Accept or Ignore messages from people you are not Facebook friends with, messages from strangers - and spam messages for that matter - ended up in your “Other Inbox.”
