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.

The exact same design, with the threads listed down the left side and the content of the selected thread in the middle?

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.

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.

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.

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
    • Look who's back!
    • I wonder how driving laws around the world will change. No way to really tell if people are using phone. Same with smart watches i guess even now and those silly built in tablets for controlling the car instead of buttons.
