Still stuck on old layout for FB Messenger

[Silvarro]

It has been a couple weeks since Facebook rolled out the new layout to all users but oddly enough I still have the old layout of FB Messenger and I really wanna have the new layout. Why is that? I have a Nexus 5X with Android 8.1.0 and the security patch level is of december 2018, which was the last security patch for my device. But I don't think that the Android version is too old to be able to see the new layout. I already tried clearing app cache and data, reinstalling the app and rebooting the phone but it didn't work. Anyone else having the same 'problem'?

Go into the play store settings and see if the app has any updates.

I did and it didn't have any new updates.
