Messenger counts over 900 million users every month, and the app has not stopped adding new features recently. Today, Messenger is much more than just an app to send and receive messages. Of course you can still use it to chat with your friends, but now you can also chat with your favourite brands, get your news delivered, or even book plane tickets, thanks to the hundreds of Messenger bots that are activate on the app.

And although these new features are indeed very useful, they have contributed to making Messenger a bit harder to comprehend.

Today, Facebook is rolling out a new layout for Messenger, one that will make it easier for you to see which of your friends are online, whose birthdays are coming up, who your favourite contacts are. You can also go back to the “Home” screen with just one tap, wherever you are within the app.

The new layout also makes it clear which tabs you can use to make audio or video calls, to access your own personal profile, including your username and Messenger scan code. Finally, the new Messenger layout also comes with a search bar, so you can access anything you have done previously on the app.
