Meanwhile, just a couple of hours ago, Facebook made some changes in its basic mobile UI when people opt to visit the basic mobile site with the search bar at the top, and a Facebook “f” logo there at the top instead of the full logo, just like the desktop version, which will be pretty good and helpful for most people who want to search right at the top without scrolling down to the bottom. A few days ago, Facebook made another update with the option to view the groups at the top.
