Facebook is replacing its classic blue user interface with a major update on its desktop version for all users. The company has now confirmed that Facebook will permanently disable its old blue interface in September of this year. Earlier this year, the company rolled out a new version of Facebook.com for all users across the globe. Currently, users have the option to choose between Facebook’s classic UI and its modern interface. However, in September, the old interface will not be available and users will have to use the modern UI.
Users will get a pop-up notification for the latest update once they open Facebook.com on their PC or laptop. The latest update offers larger text and cleaner look to provide users a better experience of the social media website, yet not everyone is in its favor. The update also gets faster loading times and the dark mode theme. The dark mode is designed to prevent strain in the eyes of users. The cleaner look and bigger text will enable you to find things easier.
It is important to note that the dark mode theme is already available on the mobile version of Facebook. Desktop users can enable this mode from options available next to the notification icon. If someone does not like Facebook’s new design, they can switch back to the old blue interface, however, the company has announced that Facebook will make the new user interface a default experience for users in September. Users can also submit feedback while switching to Facebook’s classic interface.
In the pop-up notification, Facebook states that the company has made improvements to new Facebook.com, and before the company makes the classic UI unavailable in September of this year, the company hopes that users will submit feedback on how Facebook can continue to make the service better for all users. In May, the company started rolling out the new Facebook.com to all users across the globe.
Here's how users are reacting on social media regarding the update:
Surprisingly, the company has made a major shift from Facebook’s mostly blue-colored user interface. Several users already know that the older interface was blue-themed because CEO Zuckerberg is red-green color blind. With the new update, the company has removed Facebook’s iconic shade of blue from the top navigation bar. If you have not yet been able to use the new Facebook.com, you can manually enable it on your PC via the account button. You just need to click on the option that says ‘Switch to new Facebook.’

Dear @Facebook . Your new web interface is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've seen all week, and that's saying a lot given that it's convention week. 😡 pic.twitter.com/1OJ2lQp8BN— Ian J. Malone (@ianjmalone) August 21, 2020
The new Facebook interface is horrid. I wish I could think of another way to host my street team on an app members already use. In that case I'd never use Facebook again. pic.twitter.com/ShWcYkHJto— Diana Urban (@DianaUrban) August 21, 2020
I hate the new facebook interface so much that I'm about willing to quit my job in digital marketing so that I can unapologetically delete my account and never have to look at it again— megan (@SchmegganGrace) August 20, 2020
If anything is going to make me stop using @Facebook or use it far less than I already do, it will be the new interface.— Jessicah Mullins (@JesMullins) August 19, 2020
I switched back to classic, but this will not be available from September. Completely insufferable... it looks like its targeted to 7yo's.#ui #facebook
Classic Facebook is going away this Sept. The new Facebook interface looks shite! And very large, everything are spaces out. Lots of wasted white space.— Tony Sutton (@tony_sutton) August 20, 2020
Sort it out @Facebook
I see that @Facebook are pushing the new User Interface out to everyone next month whether they want it or not. Apparently not a single person tested it in portrait orientations. Forces me to waste 1/3 of my screen on the Sponsored/Contacts and hides my shortcuts behind a menu. pic.twitter.com/Ep6S2uL4uJ— John Cenobite (@RazerWolf) August 20, 2020
