How to Switch Back to Classic Facebook

Earlier this year, Facebook started rolling out its new design for the desktop version of Facebook. This new design employs a minimalist style, uses sleeker icons, and even comes with a new dark mode feature. The new design is meant to provide a more streamlined navigation, similar to the mobile experience, that makes finding what you’re looking for easier.

Some Facebook users aren’t too happy with the change but luckily Facebook allows you to switch back to “Classic Facebook” – at least for now. Starting in September of 2020 it will no longer be available, but here’s how to use the classic design until then.
