Facebook has changed it’s company name to Meta.
This was announced by Facebook Chief, Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday, saying the move is to represent a future beyond just the social network.
This is as the social media giant gears toward moving on to “metaverse,” a virtual reality version of the internet that the tech giant sees as the future.

“We’ve learned a lot from struggling with social issues and living under closed platforms, and now it is time to take everything that we’ve learned and help build the next chapter,” Zuckerberg said during an annual developers conference.
“I am proud to announce that starting today, our company is now Meta. Our mission remains the same, still about bringing people together, our apps and their brands, they’re not changing,” he added.
Facebook critics pounced last week on a report that leaked the rebranding plans, arguing the company was aiming to distract from recent scandals and controversy.
