Welcome to TNW Basics, a collection of tips, guides, and advice on how to easily get the most out of your gadgets, apps, and other stuff.
Facebook’s finally rolled its site-wide overhaul out to everyone, meaning you can switch over and test it out for yourself if you like.
Here’s a quick guide on where to find the option.
The new update significantly declutters the onscreen real-estate, moving the most essential tabs to the top of the screen. You’ll also notice different feeds at the top: in addition to the News Feed, you’ll also see a Groups tab, a Gaming tab, and a Watch tab. The remaining options in the left-hand menu have larger, more colorful icons, and are more widely spaced, making everything easier to find.

The Stories have been moved to the top of the News Feed tab, above the status bar. We also finally have dark mode, which is essential if you’re like me and stare at screens professionally and need that charcoal goodness to soothe your poor rods and cones. The whole thing essentially looks like Facebook’s mobile app, only optimized for desktop.

If you don’t already have the redesign, but want to try it out, you’re in luck.
Facebook’s made the option easy to find. All you have to do is go to the drop-down menu on the top right, and you’ll see the option to “Switch to New Facebook.” It’ll be near the bottom of the menu. This will automatically switch everything over to the new layout.
there you go — that’s all there is to it. And if, for some reason, you’re not liking the new design, you can switch back the same way. Go to the drop-down menu and select “Switch to classic Facebook.”
At the moment, the new design is not mandatory, so you can switch back any time you want. We don’t yet know when, if ever, Facebook will make it standard for everyone. So for now, enjoy the option. Good luck!

Why you can trust Pocket-lint
(Pocket-lint) - In the history of Facebook, there have been four major redesigns.
The latest one, FB5, otherwise known as the "New Facebook", might be the most dramatic of them all. It's a total shift in how Facebook looks and works on desktop and mobile. It even introduces a site-wide dark mode. Don't have a meltdown just yet. It's been many years since a massive design change came to Facebook, so this news is both welcomed and much-needed, even if it's jarring.
To help you navigate the change, we're breaking down what to expect.
What is the 'New Facebook'?
At the F8 2019 conference, Facebook executives announced the social network plans to push out a massive redesign called the "New Facebook". It's an interface update that will place a bigger emphasis on Groups and Events - two of the biggest reasons people visit Facebook on a daily basis. This subsequently also means that the News Feed will be featured way less in the "New Facebook".
Both the desktop website and the mobile app will automatically receive the update, hopefully making Facebook easier to navigate while also modernising its look for the new decade.
Facebook described it as a cleaner design, with more of an all-white look and even a dark mode option.
What's new with Facebook?
White design
Visually, Facebook's redesign is carried throughout the desktop and mobile apps. It's a cleaner, brighter, more contemporary Facebook. Here’s a look at CEO Mark Zuckerberg showing off the mostly-white design at the F8 2019 conference:
Dark mode
If you're not a fan of the bright look, you'll be happy to know that, because dark modes have become a huge trend, Facebook has decided to offer its own dark mode for desktop and iPhone users with this update. (Go here to learn how to get this dark mode now for Messenger.)
Here’s a quick video from Facebook showing off the look:

News Feed and Groups
Perhaps the biggest change to Facebook is the News Feed.
Facebook is doubling down on group communities and private interactions and has suggested we can expect a major disruption in how we get our content from Facebook in the future. It floated the notion that friends and family should be the core of our social lives. So, Facebook Groups will now be prioritised and surfaced more to you.
That doesn't mean the News Feed is dead. In fact, press imagery for the "New Facebook" still shows a stream of status updates.
Facebook said the Groups Tab has been overhauled to make finding new groups that you might be interested in even easier. The feed for groups will also serve up recent activity within groups you’re a member of and may even replace the News Feed as the default feed. You’ll also see more connections among groups and the Facebook features you use the most, such as Marketplace or Facebook Watch.
Other features
There will also be new features events and for specific communities, like Chat for Gaming Groups, as well as interaction improvements for Facebook Live and those who use it for buying and selling purposes.

How to get the 'New Facebook'
Desktop
Facebook is now allowing people to try the "New Facebook" from a desktop. Just log in to Facebook on your computer, go to your Settings drop-down menu, and select the option toward the bottom that says "Switch to New Facebook."
To switch back to the old Facebook and its classic white design, simply go to the Settings drop-down menu and disable it.
Mobile
To try the "New Facebook" on your Android or iOS device, just make sure you're running the latest version of the Facebook mobile app.
How to turn on dark mode
Desktop
While switching to the "New Facebook", you will automatically be brought to the all-new look and shown a card detailing the changes. Then, you will be allowed to choose the dark mode. If you've missed this step, at any time, you can go to the Settings menu to toggle on dark mode.
iOS
Although Facebook hasn’t formally announced dark mode for iOS is available yet, it has begun appearing for some iPhone and iPad users. Open the Facebook app on an iOS device, then tap the Menu tab on the bottom menu, and scroll down and tap Privacy and Settings. A toggle for Dark Mode will appear, should it be available to you. Tap it to turn on the new dark mode.

How to link an Instagram business account to a Facebook page and what it will do
Content [show]
If you have a brand page on Facebook and a business profile on Instagram, be sure to link them together.
This will not only give you four additional benefits, but also help you avoid trouble.
How to link a Facebook Page and an Instagram business profile
To do this, go to Page Settings, Instagram section and click the Connect account button.
After that, log in through Instagram, enter the login and password of the business profile you want to link.
Done, your account is connected!
Please note that in the same section at the bottom there is an option to disconnect Instagram from the current Page. To do this, simply click the "Disconnect" button.
What benefits will you get?
Linking the resources of one company means getting several significant advantages.
1.
All messages and comments from both networks are now available in one window - Inbox It is very convenient when administrators, editors and moderators can see and reply to all messages and all comments on Facebook and Instagram in the Facebook Pages section.
2. Schedule and post to Instagram from a Facebook Page
By linking these two resources, you can post to Instagram from a Facebook Page and vice versa. It is convenient to do this in the Creator Studio section. And the most important plus: you can schedule posts on Instagram. Up to this point, the issue with auto-posting on Instagram was difficult, you had to use third-party services. Read about Creator Studio in our article.
You can post and schedule feed and IGTV. And Stories are still the old fashioned way, with pens.
3.
Create ads on Instagram through Facebook Ads Manager with additional features You can create ads on Instagram through Facebook Ads Manager without linking your Instagram business profile. You may not even have an Instagram account, this is an optional condition. In this case, ad impressions in Instagram placements will be on behalf of your Facebook Page.
But once you've linked your Facebook Brand Page and Instagram Business Profile, you can:
- Create custom audiences in Ads Manager based on Instagram Business Profile interactions;
- Use an Instagram account to serve ads on Instagram. Your profile photo will be clickable when your ad is displayed, and users will be able to go to your Instagram.
- When creating new ads, you can use images and videos that were posted on the Instagram business profile;
- You can use business profile Instagram posts when creating ads in Ads Manager;
4.
You can synchronize contact information between two accounts Page administrators and editors can synchronize the phone number, email address, address from the Facebook Page and these changes will be reflected in Instagram.
What do I do if my Instagram business profile is linked to the wrong Facebook Page?
In practice, there is often a situation when you need to link these 2 resources, and the Instagram business profile is already linked to another Page.
This happens when you didn't provide a valid Facebook Page when you migrated your personal Instagram profile to a professional account. Facebook automatically created the Page, the name of the Page in this case repeats the name of the Instagram account. At this point, a Business Manager is also automatically created. This Business Manager will own the automatically generated Facebook Page and your Instagram business profile.
What do I need to do to link my Instagram business profile to the correct Page?
- Unlink the Instagram business profile from the automatically created Facebook Page. If that doesn't work, try switching back to your personal profile on Instagram. And repeat the procedure one more time;
- Link your Instagram business profile to the correct Facebook Page as mentioned at the beginning of this article.
For the above actions, you will definitely need a login and password from your Instagram account and administrator rights on the Facebook Page.
