If you looked at the Facebook app on your phone today and saw that the colors had changed, you're not alone. Don't worry, though; you won't be stuck with it.

Users on X reported the change early on Friday, noting that the Facebook app's logo on their mobile devices — typically a white F on a blue background — had changed to a blue F on a black background.

Of course, everyone hated it.

Do not fear, though. A Meta spokesperson told Mashable that the change "was caused by a technical issue and has been resolved."

Everything will go back to normal if you update your app.
