Basic Facebook Guide: block message requests on fb

How To Stop Message Requests On Facebook

With the current Facebook version, you’re able to put restrictions on who can send you friend requests, but not on who can send you messages. You could do this in previous versions of Facebook, but not any more. Instead, messages from strangers will appear as message requests.

Since these requests do not show up in the main page on Messenger - you have to actively click on “message requests” to see them - I presume Facebook’s reasoning went something like: “Message requests are really easy to ignore, so why have an option to stop all of them”.

Now I’m not sure how many message requests you get, but what can help reducing the amount is:
Going to Settings -> Privacy and setting “Do you want search engines outside of Facebook to link to your profile” to “No”.

This makes it a bit harder to find you on Facebook
Give Facebook feedback on this by going to Give Us Feedback About a Facebook Feature and describing your issue

There’s no guarantee you’ll get a reply, but Facebook encourages feedback like this.

After all, you’ll have to ignore the message requests - but ignoring them shouldn’t be very hard to do

To stop message request from strangers on Facebook, you should follow the steps given below:—

Step 1: Log in to Facebook and tap on the menu arrow in the top right-hand corner, then choose Privacy Settings.

Step 2: Click on the Edit Settings link next to How You Connect.

Step 3: Adjust the drop-down boxes to reflect the privacy level you desire.

If you are talking about the new message request option on the Messenger App, it is your choice whether to accept message requests or not.

You can check the person who has sent you a message request so, you can accept the request to read the message or ignore it.

For more information you can contact me in the comments section.
Just go to setting on FB app or on webpage from your profile then go to privacy option in it, In that you will find a option named who can send me friend request in that there are two options like everyone and friends of friends. From that section you can select who can send you friend requests.

There is a setting for that, however, it doesn't work exactly like it should. Keep in mind that Facebook makes money off of you, you're their product and if they allowed you to stop letting people connect with you, they have nothing to sell.
