Last night i was enjoying in new design of Facebook messenger on my Samsung Galaxy J6 2018 mobile.
This morning when i woke up i saw they switched me to old design once again during night.
Tried with reinstalling and updating messenger but simply there is no way to get the new one back again.
Anyone else have this case ?
Did ads got more space in the new design? I hope they do. My friends might finally switch to Telegram.

Well there is a big one on the middle of screen. You can't scroll without noticing it.
But its the same as on the all other apps inc. Viber
the same case here
The update is an account flag set on Facebook's server side. People are getting the "update" in waves.
There's no need to update Messenger if you have the latest version already, it'll be enabled when your time comes.

Just tried this it works. Basically log into Facebook on a Blackberry and get push notifications. I know we all hate Facebook works on android but if you want a notification instantly when someone contacts you, try this.

You should change it to "making facebook notifications work" I did that yesterday I though it was interested and for some reason so far is working, even tho i have been getting most of my notifications on my evo 3d already
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

I read about this and thought about trying it. It's always annoyed me that I never got any facebook notifications, because I thought I was supposed to...ya know?
...but the more I thought about it the more I realised how irritating it would be to actually get all of my facebook notifications in my notification bar...and how much more annoying it would be to have a notification sound to go with it....and I don't even have a huge friend list...
Even though notifications was a huge problem with fb app, its still not that useful of an app compared to like bb or ios versions. Ive found friendcaster works way better nd always shows notifications and takes u directly to the appropriate place in the app. It does forward u to the touch or mobile site for a few things here nd there but overall way ahead of official app!

I like friendcaster a bit better than the standard app as well. Still, it could be much better.
Haha...this is funny because I posted these exact same findings on another Android site (the "Central" one) last Friday, August 5th and by Sunday the mods had tested it, put up a video, shot it to the front page and made a Sticky of it in the Applications forum. I can tell you that it works. Facebook for Android basically piggy backs on the Blackberry for Android permissions. There's approximately about 95% functionality with this. One of the things that doesn't work correctly for example are Poke notifications. You get the push notification but when you click on that particular one nothing happens. It's a very minor issue in my book.
What is this Facebook?
Don't worry guys, After Nov 5 Facebook is no more.

My recent phone history: BB Curve>BB Tour>HTC Hero>HTC EVO 4G>Samsung Epic>HTC EVO3D
I just checked and I still have the BB permissions on my FB Account Setting and I'm not getting push notifications.
I will try to sign in on a BB when I get access to one because I remember getting push notifications on my Hero when I had it, which was directly after I had the Tour.
Hello all. I have noticed that several times a day my phone will vibrate and the notification sound will play. I look at the phone and i do not have any message. I know it's not roaming because I am right in front of a cell site and have great signal. I did a search and found that folks were having this issue with a yahoo mail app, yet I do not have this app. I am on stock with the latest OTA (until new root comes out). Any ideas? I guess i can live with it as everything else works, but I'm worried that a message might be coming through and i'm missing it.

Its probably Facebook, make sure you disable notification on the facebook app or be woken up at 3am to hear about how much your girl loves twilight and ****

I would have to go through HTC to unlock the bootloader though correct? Want to keep this off the grid as much as possible.

Well when the facebook notifications happen i typically see an icon. I went ahead and disabled the notifications anyways and i'll see where i'm at in a few days I guess.
I am married, but I can say that if a woman of mine ever made a pro twilight post, I would remove her from my life.
unfriended with extreme prejudice! My Facebook notification was pretty sporadic, sometimes it would only appear for the length of time the vibration was happening.
So far, no vibrations. Maybe that was it...
I have had similar issues when I had the Yahoo mail app installed. You can turn off system notifications but it still makes the sound. I since just use the default mail app so not sure if it's still an issue.

Multiuser was finally enabled. Great news on that front.
With the update to 4.3 comes App Ops! Now we can restrict individual apps from accessing personal information.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/app-ops-brings-granular-permissions-control-to-android-4-3/
It is with misfortune that this functionality will be removed if our devices get updated to 4.4.2.
4.3 update install failed
I downloaded and there was a button that said install/restart. Clicked the button it disappeared, but nothing else happened. Didn't install 4.3... restart did nothing. If i try to download system update, it tells me the system is already up to date. I don't see the update file in downloads, could it be somewhere else. Any thoughts?
I understand that on most android devices the update goes on the cache partition (which is only viewable with root).

Same thing happened to me.
I got the update...mine is on 4.3.....software version shows 3830_V1.16. The only addition i can see is the multiple user option...OH AND IT BROKE the ability to sync with exchange for emails (using built in email). pain the the ass cause i got this to handle work stuff while lounging around and not having my laptop. Many other users are complaining about this issue but so far i have found nothing for a fix. I like the built in email and hate to have to buy an app just to get my work email now. grrr

I use the stock email client for my work email and it still works like a charm. Where else are you reading that people are reporting this problem?

I have the same email problem with my Hotmail: 4.2.2 worked flawlessly, but now 4.3 will not connect to Hotmail using the stock client. The workaround solution is to download and use Microsoft's official Outlook app from Google Play. You'll have to use the Outlook client to send and receive mail, but at least your email will start working again.
Hotmail settings that work

I updated to today's OTA and now I only get headlines in Google now.
When I swipe left I see all the articles with only the headline and a photo. No short summary.
The "more articles" section it's not affected.a refresh or system restart does not change
anything.

It seems I should refer to it as "Google feed" now. No-one else has this issue?
The S9+ is not rooted. Some things were removed after I bought it using ADB, but that has been some time ago. I had at least 2 OTA's since. This happened after I accepted the last OTA (of this weekend).

Are you talking about OS OTAs or updates to the Google app? Your original and follow up post weren't clear enough for anyone to offer help. It does seem like there may be an issue with Google Feed with an easy fix though. Changing the wallpaper. Seems silly, but might help you.

Hi... I was referring to the OS OTA of last weekend.
The link you gave me is indeed what's happened to me. Thanks!!!
The new problem I'm facing now is that I'm now somehow tangled in a Samsung account which I refuse to make.
Maybe i need to remove that wallpaper manager to get one that is not linked to Samsung.
If I can't find that I'll be back.
Many thanks
EDIT:
I removed Samsung themes and installed some other app and my feeds have returned
How can i get new update with new design ?
I install Messenger 192.0.0.25.101, but i don't have new design..
Some devices have it, other don't have it.
Some of my friends received this update, but after a few hours the update disappeared. But not everyone.
What to do ?
Changing build.prop to fake my device model will help me or something other can i do ?
I had received the new update also it happened accidently by facebook servers... As they were testing the app the new update should officially drop after Christmas

Thank you, very much!
I have one question. If someone was backup(apk file or data, or both)the new update, would that mean we could use it now? (with updates turned off)

as far as I know this is actually server-side so you have to wait until you are "unlocked" by the server

In the newer Messenger versions, the "Save Photos" option was removed.
Even when installing an older messenger version where had it this option, it is missing.
But with a modified APK, this option has not yet been removed to me.
Maybe it's not fully server-side or ?!

If you uninstall a messenger and then install it again, have you got the new design again?
Whether or not you get the re-design is entirely server-side on Facebooks end. They have stated you won't need to update the app at all, it'll just be enabled for your account in the background and then you will have it.
There's no way to get the re-design through an updated app as of yet. They do roll back some people who get it when they shouldn't.
You just have to wait. It's rolling out in waves.
