In the bar at the top of your FB page where it says search etc go to the very end & click on the black downward arrow. The option to switch back to classic is just above the log out option.
Hope this works for you.

Sadly, yet another ain't broke so we'll keep fixing it till it is broken.
The word upgrade used to mean 'making something better', more often nowadays it's just computer geeks thinking they know better.
Bag of s h y t e in my opinion, but what can we do ...........

I have to repeat my self. THERE IS NO "SWITCH TO CLASSIC FACEBOOK" on mine I press the arrow and it is not there. On google there are many many more people in the same boat as me. They also do not have the Switch to Classic Facebook.
So has any computer wizz kid got any way that I can revert to the CLASSIC FACEBOOK. Pretty please.
A friend of mine says do you have windows 10? as this switch only appears if you are using windows 10, please don't shoot me

Interestingly if I go into Facebook on chrome I get no choice to choose which version , itβs just stuck on the old version .

Oh, that interests me as I use Chrome.. But I also have Fire fox. So if and when mine goes to the New version then if I Do want to change back I will look on Firefox

I use Windows 10 and either Chrome or Firefox depending on which browser I am using at the time - both still on the Classic setting.

There's a video here but I found it a bit annoying. However if you read the information by opening the full comments, it tells you to use the option to Report a Problem to Facebook, which apparently will be resolved by them over a couple of days:
You have to get past the bit about the drop-down menu if you watch the video!

I view FB on my Pc using Firefox browser - I had the 'facebook purity' add on which seemed to have stopped working after the latest 'update' but this morning it has offered me the option to switch back to 'classic FB' which I have done.

Thanks for that Info J B, however I will see if anyone else here is or has used the fbpurity.com first. So here is my question to you ALL. Anyone on here using the above if so can you comment please, TIA.
Well, I've been using it for years and it just seems to work ...

I've used FB Purity for years also... They work really hard to get rid of all the stuff that nobody likes about Facebook.
Fluff Busting is definitely what they do.
I particularly like the filter options which allows me to stop seeing all those photos of kids standing on the doorstep in school uniform every year when the September new year starts and more recently, all of those private sales of homemade facemasks

I see that Facebook.com is changing, and all members will have to use the new version from September.
