Facebook has recently changed their interface and you may want to update your account if you are unhappy with it. The New Facebook is less cluttered and has more white space. The top of the page is divided into three sections: the left side features a large Facebook icon, while the middle contains a series of light grey icons. On the right side of the page you will find the profile icon, Messenger, and a feedback button. Facebook&#8217;s logo is now a bigger f in a lighter blue circle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Updates_to_its_mobile_app\"><\/span>Updates to its mobile app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a new feature, Facebook is bringing Trending News to its mobile app. It allows you to search for stories related to your interests, including the most popular news stories in your news feed. News stories are grouped by major media outlets, and you can find out about breaking news stories from different sources by typing the topic in the search bar. The feature is currently available on iOS and Android, and is being tested on both platforms. Facebook is also testing a new space for the top trending news stories.<\/p>\n<p>This update will prioritize posts with high ratings and interaction. It will also prioritize posts that people are interested in, such as recipes, celebrity news, and movie reviews. Users will not see many changes in the way their posts are displayed on the mobile app, but some Pages may see a slight change in referral traffic. This change will have a positive impact on user experiences, but users must be prepared to face changes in the mobile app.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changes_to_its_desktop_app\"><\/span>Changes to its desktop app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The social network has announced new design for its desktop application. It is expected to come with several changes. The first is the addition of a &#8220;Menu&#8221; button, which will give users easy access to Campus, Events, Friends, Groups, and news feed. The changes will be rolled out over the next few months, and the desktop app will be updated accordingly. You can read about these changes below. The changes will be a welcomed improvement for many desktop users.<\/p>\n<p>The changes to the desktop app are intended to improve the overall user experience and boost the visibility of certain brands. The new &#8220;Discover&#8221; section should help some brands get more exposure, but the changes won&#8217;t affect Facebook&#8217;s Stories. While the changes will be rolled out over the next week or two, the changes will be available in all versions of the app later this year. Some users will notice the changes on Thursday.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_features\"><\/span>New features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the past thirty days, Facebook has rolled out a number of new features. It also partnered with third-party companies to improve the user experience. One feature that has been talked about for a while has now been rolled out to everyone: the ability to clear your history. Although this tool has been around for a while, it&#8217;s nice to see it finally go live for all Facebook users. In addition to the new features mentioned above, Facebook is also testing exclusion controls for specific topics and advertisers.<\/p>\n<p>The new ad transparency feature is currently rolling out to iOS users. Android users will likely get access to it by early May. The site is also improving its data download tool to allow users to download three new sections of their activity. The new features have been implemented in the Messenger and Groups interfaces, but will take some time to roll out to everyone. The updated data download tool will also allow users to upload more data on a specific topic.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_settings_on_mobile_devices\"><\/span>Time settings on mobile devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing time settings on mobile devices is relatively simple. Facebook updates the application as quickly as possible and uses time as a parameter. Incorrect time will cause problems for the application on older devices and will cause news feeds to be laggy or loading too slowly. To fix this, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>The latest version of Facebook adds a time tracking tool that lets you set a daily limit for time spent on the website. You can even set reminders if you exceed that time limit. This feature is similar to tools created by Apple and Google to control screen time and promote good mental health. You can also set a daily time reminder for yourself and choose a Quiet Mode schedule. These features are especially useful if you find yourself spending too much time on social media.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dark_mode_options\"><\/span>Dark mode options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Toggling Facebook&#8217;s dark mode settings will not be automatic anymore. You&#8217;ll have to go to the Facebook settings menu and click on &#8220;Legal and Policies.&#8221; On this page, you will see a link that says &#8220;About.&#8221; On this page, you need to update to version 300. Thankfully, this process is relatively simple and only requires a couple of clicks. Once the process is complete, you&#8217;ll be able to enjoy the new dark mode options.<\/p>\n<p>The new dark mode option will appear on your Facebook page when you&#8217;re not viewing the page in the standard light mode. This is better than the white background that&#8217;s currently in place on the page. This option is available in the Facebook messenger app as well as in the official app. For Android users, you can enable the feature in the Microsoft store. If you want to enable the dark mode, go to settings and tap on &#8220;Dark Mode&#8221; from the options menu.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"262\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dt1HNf7Ynrk\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"468\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Latest Version of Facebook?
