The social giant Facebook has two inbox. There's the main inbox and one more hidden inbox is there called 'Other' inbox. The site 'Other' inbox is where you'll find all your messages and mails from the users that are not your 'Friend' on Facebook until and unless the user didn't pays $1 to send it to your main folder. OR we can say that the Facebook's other folder is the place where you'll find the messages and email that have been filtered out of your inbox according to your Messaging filter setting i.e the Basic or Strict filtering, you can get more information about it here.
We'll also share, What are Archived messages? What is the difference between archiving and deleting a conversation and how can you access 'Archived' messages on desktop as well as android. First, lets take a glimpse of Facebook 'other' inbox followed by archived messages.
To prevent users from spam messages, Facebook enabled the Paid Messaging feature under which a non-friend user have to pay $1 to send message to an user's main inbox. The message can still be sent without paying anything but that message will be dropped in the user's 'Other' folder that either mostly people don't know or don't check regularly, So, the chances of reading your message is less in this case.
It's very important to keep an eye on 'Other' inbox too as it may contain a message from your missed connection or somebody stranger who wants to connect with you or can be anything. So, you may be surprised to see the messages there in 'other' inbox.
