Fb seems to be testing a new layout in the desktop version of the app, with some customers just lately having this new format unleashed on their screens.

That looks like so much.

Based on Mashable, the brand new structure appeared for some customers final week, with an replace alert within the app explaining the change, which strikes your entire navigation choices to the left facet of the display screen.

As Mashable notes, many different desktop apps are left-aligned like this, with Twitter and Gmail additionally displaying your entire numerous choices in the identical method.

Although they appear much less crowded. Possibly the menus are supposed to be extra collapsible, so that you don’t have all the pieces on display screen without delay. Possibly that will work, in streamlining your view to deal with one central level, versus displaying so many choices without delay.
