The beta testing moves some information and links into the wide cover photo that now stretches across the tops of user profiles.

Facebook have said in a statement: “We can confirm this is a small test, but don’t have anything further to share at this time.”

The new Timeline would move the user’s name, home location, occupation, education, and other basic information into a layer of text over the cover photo, and the text was changed to white.

There is also a “Summary” tab added, which reveals a list of the user’s major “Life Events” of the user.

Other changes include turning “Likes” into “Favourites,” and condensing the current tabs – “Friends,” “Photos,” “Map,” and new “Favorites” – into a smaller space just below the cover photo.
