Do you remember that redesigned Facebook News Feed which is launched exactly a year ago? You might have in the waiting list if you have applied for it. Now, the wait is over, finally, Facebook is rolling out an improved version of that old News Feed redesign to everyone.
The announcement was made in Facebook business blog saying, “You may recall that last year we experimented with a complete redesign of News Feed for desktop and mobile. People who tested it told us that they liked the bigger photos and images, but found it more difficult to navigate Facebook overall,” wrote Facebook. “The updated design has the best of both worlds: it keeps the layout and navigation people liked, but offers bigger images and photos, as well as a new font.”
In the redesigned News Feed you’ll be able to see new fonts for the texts, bigger photos and tweaked icons. And the changes made to its left and right columns (old redesign) including the drop-down menu for different feeds are gone which is due to difficulties in navigating stories.Also See: Facebook is testing public comment filter
In this case, the new look has got more simplified comparing to the current design. The changes includes, larger button for “people you may know” section and also tweaked icons on the various tabs across the top.
Facebook further claimed the new News Feed won’t effect how content is surfaced to people, nor do they change how stories are ranked in News Feed, these changes are only visual updates. The new design will roll out to users in the “coming weeks.”
