Facebook, Inc. has a new name “Meta.”
Mark Zuckerburg announced the new name at a Facebook Connect live event on Thursday.
“From now on, we’re going to be the metaverse first. Not Facebook first,” Zuckerberg said in his keynote according to The Washington Post. “Facebook is of for the most used products in the world. But increasingly, it doesn’t encompass everything that we do. Right now, our brand is so tightly linked to one product that it can’t possibly represent everything we are doing,” he added.
“We are a company that builds technology to connect. Together, we can finally put people at the center of our technology. And together, we can unlock a massively bigger creator economy,” Zuckerberg said.

The change does not apply to its individual platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp, only the parent company that owns them.
