Facebook continues to roll out its redesigned messages product: including a new layout, improved photo uploads and keyboard shortcuts among other changes.
The desktop design is now more like traditional email. Even though the two-paned layout and keyboard shortcuts are reminiscent of email, Facebook added a few elements from mobile and chat, including read receipts and emoticons.

Facebook also improved the photo sharing process, allowing users to quickly upload multiple photos from their computer or select images from their Facebook albums. The new process is more streamlined, similar to the mobile flow.
Another change is the option to send messages to users you are not friends with. Facebook also calls out the option to search messages.
