Facebook has changed the way we read our private messages.<\/p>\n
In the latest update sure to stir up the user base \u2014 even if it’s just for a little while \u2014 the social network appears to have ditched the old layout of its desktop website’s inbox, replacing it with Facebook Messenger.<\/p>\n
The move to Messenger, first spotted by TechCrunch<\/em>, brings even greater uniformity to the overall Facebook user experience. Your inbox on Facebook.com is now identical to your inbox on the Facebook mobile app, the Messenger mobile app and the standalone Messenger website, complete with the chat-friendly options that come along with the service, like built-in emoji, sticker and GIF buttons, along with the more specialized commands, like payment and games.<\/p>\n While chatting with friends from the Home screen remains the same, with a pop-up window for each conversation, the Inbox icon has been supplanted by Messenger’s now-familiar circular blue logo.<\/p>\n Once you select the logo, you’re taken directly into the Messenger interface.<\/p>\n
