Facebook is preparing to test a major redesign that pushes the app closer to the short-video style popularized by TikTok. According to the report, a subset of users will see a “reimagined experience” later this year, with full-screen video appearing as soon as they open the app.
The planned test suggests Facebook is continuing to shift its core product around video discovery and a more immersive opening screen. Rather than leading with the traditional feed experience many users associate with Facebook, the app would immediately present video in a format designed to keep people scrolling.
The report also indicates Facebook is drawing inspiration from more than just TikTok. It says the platform is also borrowing ideas associated with Reddit and Craigslist, pointing to a broader effort to reshape how content and posts are surfaced inside the app.
Taken together, the changes underline how aggressively Facebook is trying to refresh its identity as competition for attention intensifies across social media. Even in this limited test phase, the move signals that Meta sees a more video-first Facebook as central to the platform’s next chapter.
