Facebook has made a significant change to its desktop version. Changed the options that were previously in the upper right corner.
While four out of every five people were using Facebook 10 years ago, now things have turned around and with Facebook's blood loss, young users, especially the so-called Z generation, attach more importance to Instagram and TikTok.
Of course, you may think that Instagram is owned by the same company as Facebook, Meta, so it doesn't make much difference. However, the meltdown in Facebook's user numbers does not please anyone, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and they are looking for ways to fix the situation. Facebook, which went through a radical design change from A to Z in 2020, has now made another innovation.
What happened to the desktop version of Facebook?
In the desktop version of Facebook, the bar with options such as Notifications, Profile, Search, Messages, Menu, Settings is positioned on the left. This used to be in the upper right corner. While Facebook describes the change as "We've moved all your navigation options to one place", it doesn't offer an option to revert it.
When you click on one of the options on the left (for example, Menu), the content now expands to the right and you can do whatever you want from here. As it will be remembered, when these options were in the upper right corner, they were expanding downwards. Now it is criticized for creating a chaotic image as it takes up more space on the screen.
Currently, the navigation bar is on the left in the interface of many platforms, including Twitter, Gmail, YouTube. It remains unclear whether Facebook, which has insisted on not being similar to them until now, will make the same innovation in its desktop version in Android and iOS applications. There are no known design changes in Facebook's mobile apps yet.
