Facebook is planning to take over the place of SMS and mobile numbers completely. Facebook is now planning to make anyone around the world to message you even if they are not your friend - same like sms.For this the only thing a person will require is the other persons Facebook name. But to do so, the social network will kill a part of your Facebook inbox - a feature probably you never knew you had. Facebooks hardly known and rarely used "Other" inbox soon cease in favor of a new addition to Messenger called Message Requests.
If you do not know what is the “Other” inbox, log on to the top of the panel and facebook.com/messages steering on the left you will see the "Other" heading. There are messages from people who are not on your Facebook friends or Facebook pages. The idea behind the "Other" was to deliver messages-i.e. unauthorized messages from non-friends-without overloading your inbox. This was a less known feature in Facebook
Facebook hopes Message Request will fill a similar role to the Other inbox, but becomes much more useful. The big difference is that Message Request is being built for the apps on Android and iOS Facebook Messenger, not the desktop.
You can still find it on the desktop in the same place as it was Other, according to a screenshot obtained by TechCrunch, but first mobile message applications.
Messenger for Android and on iOS, Message Request appears as a folder on the top of your message queue. When you have a new message from a person who is not Facebook friend will be directed there, and you see unread counts when you have new messages.
When you get a request message you can see the name of the person who sent the message, some basic profile information, and the message itself. If you respond to the person, their message is removed from the Requests folder to the message inbox regularly.
"We really wanted to make the place where Messenger you can find and connect privately with anyone who you need to reach them ... Now, the only thing you need to talk to almost anyone in the world , is just there Facebook name.
The request message also encourages users to synchronize their mobile address books with Facebook. Even if you are not Facebook friends with someone, as long as they are in the phone's address book and Address Book are synchronized to the Facebook servers-Facebook messages from them will appear in your Messenger inbox.
This new feature has started to come out with new Facebook updates to the users worldwide.
