It’s one of the most popular apps on both iOS and Android , and now Facebook ’s app has had a huge makeover.
Facebook has started rolling out ‘FB5’ - a new design of Facebook, which it claims is ‘simpler, faster and more immersive’.
The redesign was announced at the F8 Developer Conference at the end of last months, and is now appearing in users’ apps.
The redesign puts more of a focus on Groups, as part of Facebook’s efforts to ‘put communities at the centre’.
Facebook Messenger lets you assign NICKNAMES to friends - here's how
At the top of the app, you can now find a bar of widgets, including News Feed, People you may know, Groups, Videos, and Notifications.
Tapping on the Groups Widget, you’ll be taken to a new tab, where you can see your groups, and explore other suggestions.
Facebook explained: “The tab now shows a personalised feed of activity across all your groups.
“And the new discovery tool with improved recommendations lets you quickly find groups you might be interested in.”
Facebook users are convinced it's 'listening' to conversations - but the truth is just as creepy
Friends’ Facebook Stories still sit below the widget bar, however, these now appear as large rectangles, making them much more prominent on your feed.
While the changes aren’t too drastic, many users have taken to Twitter to complain about the redesign.
One user said: “Anyone think the layout of Facebook is a little wack?”
Another added: “What on earth has happened to my Facebook?? I don’t like the layout please change it back!?”
Others have described the update as 'ugly', with one even go so far as to call it 'hideous.'
Facebook has also announced plans to launch a similar redesign of the desktop version of Facebook, although you'll have a bit of time to get used to it on mobile before it's released!
