Facebook have rolled out the Messenger interface as a replacement for the loved message inbox.
Although the latest design will feel familiar to those who use the chat service on their smartphones, as with every Facebook so-called improvement issues exist.
With the new changes you will find common filters such as ‘Unread Messages’ are no longer present. I have found a workaround a way to access those filters.
Hopefully you will not require these workarounds for long.
You can also edit the layout with styling code using F.B Purity & Stylish to change the message box margins and more (See Below)
*F.B Purity has introduced some of the changes we have listed below in their recent update v18.0.0. However our custom code can be used with Stylish and adjusted to suit your own preferences

Unread Message Filter
Facebook have updated the “Unread Thread” 29 Jan 2017 (See image)

Spam Filter

Filtered Messages
https://m.facebook.com/messages/?folder=other
Delete All Messages
Other Tips:
Use “Shift & Enter” to add paragraphs
Install F.B Purity and add the following code in the custom CSS box. You can change the height to what ever suits you… ie replace 500 with 200.
Please feel free to comment with any improvements as I cannot get the code to work on Mozilla. The code can also be used in the Stylish Extension as described below for Firefox.
Copy the code below:
Remove sections between /* comments */ if the sections of code don’t suit you.
You can also change the variables ie 300px … 100% … #1d2129;
[slh lang=”css”]/* Adjust Typing Box Height */
._kmc {
min-height: 300px;
}
/* Messenger remove Bubbles */

These CSS changes to work on FireFox with the Stylish Addon rather than the F.B Purity addon:
Copy the code below:
Remove sections between /* comments */ if the sections of code don’t suit you.
You can also change the variables ie 300px … 100% … #1d2129;
[slh lang=”css”]@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
