Facebook has been working for months to update the image of its social network on all platforms, but not everyone wants to make the change right now, so let’s see how to return to the old design of Facebook in its desktop web version.
Unfortunately, neither in Android and iOS apps nor on the mobile web is it possible to recover the previous design. However, those who use Facebook on a computer (PC or Mac) can return to the previous aspect through a trick.

We already explained the redesign of the Facebook website , which maintains the same organization, but at a visual level it represents a great advance, with greater clarity, redesigned icons and a more modern appearance, as in this image:
While Facebook provides us with some useful features, including dark mode for using the web in low light, we may prefer to go back to the old design.
Of course, to recover the previous design it is essential that we are administrators of a Facebook page , because only in this case will the option appear.
If we wish, we can create a Facebook page specifically for this, as it is simple and free, without actually needing to use it.
These are the steps to follow:
- From the Facebook website on a computer we go to the upper right area, where in the “Your pages” section we will choose one that we manage:
- At the top left we see a message to return to the old version of Facebook for 48 hours, we have to click on “Change” to do so:
- Facebook will ask us the reason for returning to classic design, the easiest thing is to click on “Skip” if we do not want to indicate it:
- With these two simple steps we can return to the old Facebook in its desktop web version for 48 hours , with the following aspect:
- If before 48 hours we want to use the renewed Facebook, the process is similar, we will click on the arrow pointing down in the upper right corner, and then on “Change to the new version of …” :
The decision is in our hands, although for some users the option to return to the old design may not appear . The reason for the pages to still have it available are possible technical problems with the new interface, which you can imagine will be corrected little by little.
There is no doubt that going back to the old design on Facebook will only be possible for a while , since mobile applications have already been updated, and over time the social network will want to unify its interface.
