It is one of the most anticipated improvements by the users of this messaging service. We refer to Facebook Messenger. Today we learned that Facebook is already giving users the new design of the tool.
The upgrade was announced at their F8 conference in May this year. At that time, Mark Zuckerberg's company already showed the general public a preview of the redesign of Facebook Messenger. Its objective was to simplify the design of the tool, by making some accessories or elements that made the messaging operation difficult to disappear.
And it is that in recent years, the chat service had become somewhat complex, due to Facebook's willingness to add different functionality and options. What the company wants with this change is to make the most important features truly accessible to users. But this would not be the only improvement available.
Dark mode arrives on Facebook Messenger
Facebook paused the arrival of the new design of Facebook Messenger At that time of the year, the company was immersed in a real scandal: that of Cambridge Analytica and the leak of nothing more and nothing less than 80 million user accounts.
And since calm always comes after the storm, this could be a good time to share news. One of the most interesting features of this new version of Facebook Messenger is, without a doubt, the dark mode.
But let's get down to business. The novelty has arrived on board Messenger without the need to update This has been explained in Android Police, after some users have noticed how, suddenly, the application Facebook Messenger had a very different design. This means that the update has arrived from the server side. But what new features can we expect?
Facebook Messenger: what's new
To begin with, it should be noted that after the update, the Facebook Messenger application has only three tabs. Three tabs that, in principle, will be much more useful for users. These are located at the bottom right and give access to the chat button or to the camera system.Then there are more options, which are still available, but have been moved directly to the Explore tab. This includes games, businesses and other add-on options.
Another major change has been made to the chat screen. From here users will have the option to further customize this tab, so they can choose the chat colors as they please. In general, yes, the section is much more minimalist and is very pleasant to use.
As you can see, in general, everything looks much lighter and whiter, which can be very appealing to users looking to simplify things. However, some users who have already tried the new interface,claim that it is now less clear what the differences between article and article are. Those who are not comfortable with that have, luckily, a second option, which is dark mode.
