According to the report, a Facebook spokesperson has confirmed that this redesign will “soon start rolling out”, and that some of you might already have the update. More rollouts are planned this week. Facebook said it was delivering on its promise in August that it would eventually get rid of Discover.

Features like Chat bots, businesses and games are being hidden, however, now you’ll have to purposefully search for them in the Messenger search bar in order to find them.

The update seems to suggest that Facebook is pushing messenger in the direction of WhatsApp in order to become a streamlined and focused messenger service, rather than a do-it-all utility app like China’s WeChat.
