How to force the new Facebook layout onto your Android device

FacebookFacebook

Facebook is silently rolling around a behind-the-scenes update that brings a slightly revamped interface to the application. While this update is not a market update, it is something that users have been able to force onto their device before they got it officially. To force this update to your device follow a few simple steps and you should be all set.

  1. Launch the application
  2. Press lots of buttons inside the application, while hitting back quickly to back out of it until the application Force Closes
  3. Accept the Force Close and then relaunch the application
  4. Enjoy your new interface

OK, that's kind of the hard way, right? The trick is to make the app check in with Facebook to get the updated UI. (Complete with the little spinning categories thing.) Sure you could sit around and wait for the update, but where is the fun in that? Get to pressing and hoping for that force close, and be sure to let us know if it worked for you!

Thanks, Tobias!
