Facebook Messenger App UI/Layout change after 12/4 update?

    Hey all,

    Tried troubleshooting slow 3G internet on a relatives Galaxy S6 Edge this afternoon during lunch, couldn't get them sorted so asked them to drop the phone off to me when they could do without it so I could do a proper back-up and wipe/update.

    Got a call from them about an hour ago saying something had changed their Facebook Messenger. I didn't go near the app but as the phone was connected to my Wi-Fi there's a decent probability it auto-updated. I can't check this as he'd since uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Asked for a screenshot and he sent me this:

    I noticed my own app needed to be updated but afterwards it still looked the same as before. From what I've managed to gleam talking to him as well as the photo it looks like the voice record function has been pushed into the main UI and the "..." for extra options swapped over to the blue "+" symbol. I tried downloading a beta version of off of APKMirror but again I saw no change in my layout. As shown below.

    Has anyone else experienced this? I checked reviews for the latest version of Messenger and a few seem to have made reference to it. Only major difference I can think of is he's using the T9 keyboard layout vs the usual QWERTY.

    Thanks.

    I had a similar update on my messenger today. Looks identical to the first screenshot.

    Cheers KC, can't understand why my layout hasn't changed so. You using a Samsung/T9 keyboard?
