Facebook Rebranding to ‘Meta,’ But the App Will Still Be Facebook

Yesterday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made the announcement that Facebook’s new corporate name will be ‘Meta.’ This announcement is in effort to reimage the company’s public image from just a social network platform to tech innovator focused on building the next generation of online interaction, known as the “metaverse.”

In a statement from Zuckerberg, he said: “It is time for us to adopt a new company brand to encompass everything that we do. From now on, we’re going to be metaverse first, not Facebook first…Building our social media apps will always be an important focus for us. But right now, our brand is so tightly linked to one product that it can’t possibly represent everything that we’re doing today, let alone in the future.”
