Currently in its alpha stage, Facebook has pushed forward a redesigned mobile app for Android users that provides a flat user interface and rearranged navigation tools.
If you want to get your hands on the latest unreleased version of Facebook, currently version 9.0, check out the two different methods below. One requires you to become a tester, while the other forces you to manually update the app whenever new versions appear.
Method 1: Join the Alpha Tester's Group
The first way to run Facebook's newest Android app is by joining theFacebook for Android Alpha Program.
Facebook has actually been in alpha testing mode for about 6 months now, and will probably continue for quite some time. That means you'll continue to get the latest alpha updates, just expect a higher degree of bugs and crashes than you're used to, as they are not all stable versions.
In order to become a tester and get Facebook version 9.0, just follow the easy steps below. But before you begin, make sure you're not a beta tester. If you are a part of the beta program, make sure you leave the group first before joining alpha.
