Facebook says goodbye to Other Inbox, hello Message Requests.<br />And so will we, once the Other Inbox will be replaced by the Message Requests feature worldwide.<br />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.<br />This is, better yet was, the purgatory where all messages from non-friends went to die.<br />Many Facebook users didn't even know of its existence, and those who knew rarely bothered to check.<br />Perhaps also due to the fact that a large slice of the Facebook users pie access the social network from mobile apps.<br />For mobile apps, the Other Inbox wasn't even integrated in the messaging box.<br />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.
