\nFacebook allows you to choose the types of senders you would like to receive messages from. There are two types of filtering options here:<\/p>\n
\nStrict filtering<\/strong> – only lets messages from your friends reach your inbox. Other messages will be stored in the \u2018other\u2019 folder of your message window.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/center>

\nNote<\/strong><\/em>: In the same window, you can also choose who can send you messages; ‘everyone’ or ‘friends of friends’.<\/p>\n
\nFor every piece of information, you can decide whether it can viewed by public, friends, only you or specific people. You can do this with the help of the privacy setting in the About section. For instance, you can set the privacy level of your basic information to public or to private viewing.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/center>
