Are You Ready For A Simpler Facebook Messenger?

Let us begin with a simple question, what do you think about the Discover tab of Facebook Messenger? Yes, the tab that was an attempt from the social network giant to merge the disastrous chatbot platform into the private messaging application. Don't you that that life would be a bit easier without this tab?

Well, Facebook Messenger is working on removing the Discover tab, and improving the simplicity. This change was announced in August last year, and according to the reports, the changes will start happening from next week.   

The major redesign announced in 2018, as the company pledged to transform the app, which would make it simpler. Till now the app followed a do-it-all approach which resulted in unnecessary bloating.



To escape the blotchy scenario, the new changes are directed towards streamlining the processes. It is now getting a grip over its original role as an outstanding messaging application. The approach is being carried out in a way to remove all the business-focused elements of the application. Especially those that were not fruitful to the user-base, but were glorifying the app as a kind of text-based user service hub. 

Discover tab, earlier, was found with the business accounts, and a few of them were operated by AI-based bots. This was a failed attempt to utilize AI tech to try and push customer service towards its betterment.

This tab also included Facebook Instant Games. This was again an attempt to boost its once emerging web-based mobile gaming platform. Instant gaming still exists in the main Facebook app. In the new promising update, both the games and chatbots are being removed. 

'People' section is the new addition that the company has been promoting a lot. If you want to know more, then feel free to reach out.
