What are filtered messages? They are the messages sent by Facebook users who are not connected to you. In other words, if a non-friend sends a message to you or the received message is deemed to be a junk message, Facebook will put it into the filtered folder directly without notifying you. And normally, these messages will be saved in Message Requests folder which is not very obvious. Thus, we call these messages hidden messages.
