No its not.. They did a custom UI made to look like ios7.. Its been like that for a while now..
If you notice it does not have an ios7 status bar or keyboard.
Good. The UI in the old version was jumbled on iOS 7. Now if they'll update the paid version without ads, I'll be very happy.
I made the mockup that I posted, the one on that site doesn't have the new navigation, the one I posted on here was an edited version of a mock-up I put on DeviantART a couple of weeks ago. But yes, its not an actual screenshot, just a mockup based on the app Facebook are testing and the version shown at the keynote.
Yeah, thats the one my dad got, except it has labels underneath the icons on the navbar (see attached)

Ive seen this layout on some iOS6 phones, downloaded from the appstore, not a beta.
Facebook told me that (quote) "We test things from time to time and that's what the user is seeing here." So it's a sort of small test rather than a beta...
The slide menu has just moved to the "More" option.
I actually prefer this new navigation as its faster to get to where you want to be (i.e.: just a tap instead of sliding and then tapping)

Only to run smoothly with iOS 7. It has not been updated with the new APIs - this was just a bug fix update, not any sort of redesign.
Well, I have seen many apps claiming to be updatet to match iOS 7! So far I have yet to see any third party app updatet to the new API's!
I know a few definitely have - but only one app that I currently have has, "AroundMe."
From what I read on the PocketCast's Twitter, Apple is not allowing any iOS 7-only apps to be released before 9/18 (if I understand correctly).
Yes, but apps that support iOS 6 as well as being optimised for iOS 7 are allowed now.
for those who where hopeing to see iOS 7 design for facebook messenger does not look like it will be the case.. the app was just updated and no support for iOS 7 at all.
You can currently tap the side menu bar button if you prefere that to sliding.. Putting the tab bar back just seems like a step backwords.. I like the extra screanspace.
I would rather see thrm add an option to rearange the side bar..
Seems like they are just changing for the sake of change.
I will keep a copy of the old app incase i dont like it.

Im not trying to sound rude.. Genuine question.. What is the point of the FB messanger app? Isnt everything that it does now integrated in to the main facebook app?

Crackle has been updated for IOS7.. They are still using custom ui though
yeah i find the facebook messenger app to be pointless why update it anymore along with the camera one. all those features end up in the main app anyway

The Facebook Messenger app does away with all the bloat from the main app -- its actually way faster to message from the Messenger app than it is from inside the main app. I hardly ever use the main app to message, its grimly slow...
Other than that, it has no extra functionality.
I've always had issues with receiving notifications from the Facebook app. Messenger is quick and I always get my notifications.
VEVO updated.
Nothing major, just updated some UI elements so they fit with the new look...

Some apps need to use the dark keyboard theme. Vevo used white and it looks weird with a dark background
