Facebook is rolling out a redesigned Messenger that improves performance and user experience

Again the social media giant has updated its messenger platform. It seems Facebook is experimenting with the UI Design and were not satisfied with their work so they rolled back the new Messenger 4 a while ago but now they plan to launch it again. So, they started rolling out a new, simplified version of Messenger: Messenger 4.

The new UI has trimmed some of the features and elements which were unnecessary and of no use. Up until now, Messenger had nine tabs which made the interface feel very loaded and clutter. The updated messenger is rolling out on Android and iOS devices which is way much cleaner and sticking forward to become simple communication platform.

Introduced Tuesday, Messenger 4, which is rolling out now and slated to reach all users over the coming weeks, is all about simplicity. To that end, Facebook has reduced the number of tabs inside the app from nine to just three: Chats, People, and Discover.

Case problem: Before rolling out a redesigned Messenger app in 2018, Facebook partnered with Kelton to learn more from users. Facebook wanted to build a better app based on what worked and didn't work for customers.

[Update 05/15]: According to WABetaInfo the Facebook Messenger Rooms feature is now rolling out in the latest WhatsApp beta build for Android. Facebook has officially confirmed the rollout of the Zoom-like option for its own dedicated app and Messenger platform, however, no mention was made to WhatsApp messenger.

Creator Studio also has analytics displays, but it's more focused on video post performance, whereas this listing gives you a better, overall comparison of your Facebook and Instagram presence. That's probably a personal preference, but I do like the layout and simplicity of this format.

We saw employee testing as an effective way to ensure that our new codebase was ready for production. By enabling the new React implementation for Facebook employees first, we could use bug reports from them to detect issues before rolling out the code more broadly. We first enabled Fiber for the team building messenger.com, then rolled it out to more employees and eventually a small fraction of the public. When we roll out most significant changes, we use A/B testing tools to keep an eye on product metrics as well as performance numbers and error logs. With more than 2 billion Facebook users, even a 0.1 percent rollout can include hundreds of thousands of users. If we see that an infrastructure change designed to be unnoticeable causes a change in how people use our products, it usually indicates a bug in the new infrastructure.

Until late last year, Facebook disclosed monthly active users (MAUs, hereafter 'users' for simplicity) for its smartphone apps, on a rolling daily basis. I was always slightly nervous of publishing it, since you had to know how to get it and I suspected it might disappear if anyone pointed it out. Now, like fairy gold, the data has disappeared, so I can share it. 2ff7e9595c
