The inbox: Smart, Relevant, Other
Messages opens with the Messages button at the bottom right. First messages from people you don't know are split into three tabs by how well the sender's profile fits yours, so important ones don't get lost.
Where: The Messages button at the bottom right; Messages in the bottom menu on a phone
What's on the screen
- 1Smart: Your connections, people you already replied to and the best fits.
- 2Relevant: First messages from people whose profile overlaps with yours to some degree.
- 3Other: Low-fit first messages and conversations you marked Not interested.

Good to know
- Under a first message from someone you don't know, a short line says why it is in that tab, for example Matches your need.
- A conversation's tab is decided when the first message arrives. It doesn't move if the sender edits their profile later.
- Once you reply to someone, they move to Smart.
- The three-dot menu on a row lets you mute the conversation, block the person or report them.
