Many people shared pictures on the “Reddit” website dedicated to iOS users, and there was a division between those who got the new icon and those who did not see any change.
Meta’s communications director Dave Arnold confirmed that: “What happened was an unintended technical glitch due to a technical issue that has been resolved, and users will see that the glitch has been removed when the application is updated,” according to the “Business Insider” website.

After the appearance of the different icons for “Facebook”, many doubted the possibility that the platform would move towards a radical change and redesign the logo.
These doubts have increased due to the major developments witnessed by the parent company “Meta”, whether in terms of the trend towards artificial intelligence and competition with Google and Microsoft.
