If you're a current Listening customer the Sprout team will take care of your migration. Just note, you won't see any visual changes in your Sprout experience. The new platform is just new technology powering your experience with Listening. This migration is happening behind-the-scenes to make Listening even better.

Remove unwanted messages from your Smart Inbox and chats

Sometimes Facebook private messages and Twitter direct messages contain less-than-wanted content that shows up in your Smart Inbox. Before, you'd have to contact Sprout Support to remove this NSFW content for you. Now, you can delete Facebook PMs that contain:

• NSFW content
• Spam
• Personally Identifying Information (like Social Security numbers)
• Personal Healthcare Information

directly from your Smart Inbox. This keeps your inbox clean and free from unwanted information.

For Twitter DMs and Facebook PMs, you can delete inappropriate messages directly from the Chat view, too.
