Meta Rolls Out Instagram-Style Facebook Redesign With Grids, Full‑Screen Media and Double‑Tap Likes

The update targets better discovery and creation, with full‑screen search now in testing ahead of wider rollout.

Overview

  • Multi‑photo posts now appear in standardized grids, and users can tap once to open full screen or double‑tap to like.
  • Facebook’s tab bar has been reordered to foreground Reels, Friends, Marketplace and Profile for quicker access.
  • Search results surface more Reels and photos in a grid format, with a new full‑screen browsing experience currently being tested for expansion to more content types.
  • Creation tools have been reorganized so popular options like adding music and tagging friends are easier to find, and audience and cross‑post settings are highlighted in the editor.
  • Comments and moderation have been simplified with optimized replies, prominent badges, pinning tools and stronger controls for creators and group admins, while users can give feedback to refine their feeds and find people with shared interests.
