Facebook is well known for being a rather liberal user of A/B testing, having seemingly hundreds of tests going on at any one time across its increasingly diversified product line. We've come across a new one, courtesy of Google+ user Fedor von Bock, which sees Facebook testing out a navigation bar at the bottom.

While the tabs are in German as that is Fedor's native tongue, he mentions on Google+ that the words used by Facebook mean 'Homepage' and 'Explore' in English. Fedor has not specified where the 'Explore' tab goes to or what it does.

We've received no other tips on users who are seeing this, and no Android Police team member is seeing it, so it may well be a limited test, possibly geographically. The Facebook app is available on Google Play, or we have it on our sister site APK Mirror. If you're seeing the test, let us know in the comments - we'd be very interested in finding out more.
