| Just under two years ago, Facebook introduced a web interface for its private chat application, Messenger. Now, Facebook is integrating that same web app into the desktop version of Facebook, where it replaces the older messaging experience.
The change has been spotted by a number of users in multiple markets – including TechCrunch staff in the U.S. and Europe – which hinted it was more than a small-scale “test.”
Facebook did not make a formal announcement about the change. However, in the comments of a post by Facebook head David Marcus, he’s responding to a lot of feedback about the new upgrade to Messenger within Facebook, and summarized Facebook’s response in this comment.
Some users, of course, are demanding the old Inbox be returned. (After all, it seems like every Facebook change must be rebelled against at launch.)
If you’ve been upgraded to the new Messenger interface on Facebook.com, you’ll notice a few subtle changes to the user interface, when accessed from the desktop.
For starters, the previous inbox icon has been replaced with the Messenger icon in the blue navigation bar at the top of the screen.
When clicked, you’re taken to a revamped inbox that looks like what you’d see if you had visited Messenger.com directly.
Here, the left side of the screen reads “Messenger” above the list of those friends you had recently chatted with, while the center of the now three-paned interface will display the content of the currently selected chat session. |
