I have worked out how to trick Facebook into giving you the new messages UI!

Simply ask the person who already has the new UI to send you a few photos..

That's it!... wait a few minutes and BOOM! new Facebook messages Interface!

Enjoy! You guys heard it here first!

Not liking the fact the messages are not central on the screen anymore.

Do you mean the content of the messages? That's central on my screen. The list of threads is down the left side, the ads are down the right side, and the content of the selected thread is in the centre.

What's new? I have seen this UI for a while. Not being a smart a$$- seriously, that's the same things I've seen for some time. Maybe because I'm in the USA?

They've been testing it (giving it to a small number of users) for at least a couple of months. Facebook often give a small number of users a feature a few months before everyone else gets it, so they can test how those users use the new feature and so they can improve and refine it.

I never realised that was new? i'm sure my messages UI has looked like that since early this year.

The exact same design, with the threads listed down the left side and the content of the selected thread in the middle? I know they've been testing it for a few months, but I'm not sure whether they've been doing so since early this year (although that is possible). The previous design looks very similar; the main difference is that the content of the selected message wasn't shown along with the list of threads, in the previous design.

Yup! at a guess i would say around March / April this year? i could be mistaken with it been that early, however mine has certainly looked like that for many months now.

Excuse the mess i made of it, but you get the idea:

Thanks for letting me know :) It's cool to know that they've been testing it with users for that long. It's like the upcoming possible Timeline redesign?they've been testing that with users since at least May, but it has yet to make an appearance, in its final form, for us all.

Yes the content of the messages, mine looks like the screen shot of the OP, however on the left i have about 3 inches of white space like on the right hand side of the OP post, this makes the message content off set to the right by 3 inches which i find annoying.

Now if i make my browser window smaller i can remove the space on each side, but that doesnt help my issue.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
