With great number of chats, comes great numbers of spammers. So here's a feature suggestion, Message Requests keeps pending messages from strangers into a separate page with a notification count beside the search bar.

These messages won't notify the user in anyway unless user manually checks for it by tapping on the icon or the sender is in the contacts. There can be settings to allow users if they want to be notified or not.
Now some people will say "Archive and mute" is already present but it doesn't notify user in any way. This feature just hides chats among archived ones which people rarely bother to check. Many of my important PMs have been left without responce because of this and this feature isn't even available for everyone.
This feature will help in following situations:
If you're part of many groups and receive a lot of unnecessary PMs
If your username is in the list of some spammer's forward list.
If you receive unnecessary/unsorted PMs because of publicly posted username.
