Facebook rolls out messages update with new layout, photo sharing, emoticons, keyboard shortcuts and more

Facebook continues to roll out its redesigned messages product it announced in August, including a two-paned layout, improved photo uploads and keyboard shortcuts among other changes. We’ve had a number of readers let us know that they’re now seeing the update.

The desktop design is now more like traditional email, which is interesting because Facebook has made a number of changes to its mobile Messenger to make that product feel more lightweight like text messaging or chat.
