What is "New" in Messages ?

 

There is a "New" label, but I didn't see anything new.

(and it doesn't mean new message arrives).

 

At the risk of sounding stupid, i cannot find messages sent to me, or messages i've sent to people now.

Any help would be appreciated

 

I think - it may be related to the channels ("Recommended" was renamed to "New").

 
I think it's "New Messages" - in the sense of a new software implementation of the "Messages" section.

Yes probably but are you seeing something "new" in this section ?

Except what Sergey said which would really not need a "new" notification.

 
March 2023, I still have the "New"...which is now rather old
