Facebook Messenger is getting a new look

Facebook is rolling out an update to its Home screen for Messenger it says will make it easier for users to connect with friends or even businesses.

The update includes new tabs at the top of the screen to view messages, friends currently active on Messenger, and Groups. Along the bottom are sections for People, Calls and Games.

"All your beloved features are still there but are organized a little differently to make it faster for you to find what you want," reads an update on Messenger's official Facebook page.

When new activity emerges in any of the fields, a red dot will appear. Users will also see green dots next to users who are active.

The update rolls out to iOS and Android this week.

The changes might make it easier for Messenger's 1 billion users not only to start new conversations, but chat with businesses. Last month, during its F8 conference, Facebook revealed it would expand the use of chat bots on the platform, such as getting NBA game scores or dinner reservations.
