Facebook users have recently noticed a surprising change to the app’s familiar icon. For some, the traditional blue background with the white “F” has been replaced by a black or dark blue background, with a lighter blue “F”. This alteration has sparked curiosity and confusion among users, many of whom have taken to Reddit and social media to discuss the issue.
Some speculate that the change might be connected to new features in iOS 18, which is expected to introduce dark mode options and is currently in beta testing. However, some users are experiencing this change without having updated their phones, adding to the confusion about the true cause of the shift.
The most plausible explanation users have come up with is that the change in the Facebook app’s icon is related to an internal update. However, there’s no clear reason why the icon now looks different or why Facebook might have decided to implement this change. It remains a mystery, though it appears to be an intentional modification.
