Facebook Messenger wants to BE your phone number with the new Message requests.
Facebook Messenger is killing off the dysfunctional “Other Inbox.” It was where Facebook messages went to die if they were sent by someone who wasn’t your friend or friend-of-a-friend. Few people knew it existed. Fewer ever checked it.
Now, any message from a non-friend who doesn’t have your phone number will go into your Message Requests at the top of Messenger on mobile or in the Messages tab on web. Essentially, Message Requests are like Friend Requests for chat.
Interesting. Kind of what Hangouts and Skype should be. Too bad it’s from Facebook.
