People may manage their Inboxes differently, but they all face times when they need to quickly find important messages from friends or stop unwanted messages. We're simplifying the Inbox to make it easier for you to find, read and control your Facebook messages. We've already begun testing the new interface for the Inbox, and we will be rolling it out to more of you over the coming weeks.

The new Inbox design gives you more control over organizing messages and choosing which messages you receive. You'll notice that there are now filters at the top of your Inbox to help you identify unread messages as well as to report any spam, or unwanted messages, you may receive. This complements our ongoing efforts to keep your experience on the site uncluttered and secure.

To find specific messages within your Inbox, you can type a keyword or a friend's name in the search box in the upper-left corner of the screen. As before, you can view Updates from the Facebook Pages you are connected with by selecting the "Updates" category in the left-side navigation. These are messages sent by the businesses, public figures, musicians and other organizations you've become a fan of on Facebook. You can manage subscriptions to Updates by clicking the "Edit Subscriptions" link beneath Inbox of Updates. Over time, we plan to migrate messages from Groups and Events to Updates as well, so you have more control over the communication you receive.
