Has anyone noticed the active contacts row order in Messenger changing lately?

Has anyone noticed the order of the active contacts row at the top of Messenger changing in the last 4-6 weeks?

For months, the people shown near the front were pretty consistent and usually made sense based on who I interact with.

Over the last month or so, the order has gotten really strange. People I never message, never interact with, and sometimes have few or no mutual friends are suddenly showing in the first few spots, while people who used to consistently appear near the front are now at the very end (and I don’t mean ones like family or close friends who I recently messaged who are pushed to the very end/far right). For instance. people who had been hanging around the first 1-5 spots who suddenly land at the end without any message history.

I’m talking specifically about the active profile bubbles/contacts shown across the top of Messenger — not the chat list.

Has anyone else noticed a recent change in how those are being ranked/ordered?
