FACEBOOK’s new desktop redesign is being rolled out to all desktop users. Facebook had made an announcement about its redesign plans way back in April 2019, and finally update is here.
Key highlights of Facebook’s new design is minimalist design. And its website is all white as blue is gone. The top banner is also in white with light grey Notifications, News Feed, Messenger, etc, icons.
The company’s logo has been redesigned too. Unlike a square, it now features a blue circle with a white ‘F’ in it. The social media giant’s motive behind design revamp is simple: make Facebook easier to use, add a dark mode feature.
