Facebook rebrands, changes parent company’s name to ‘Meta’

Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Facebook will be changing its name to “Meta”, in line with the company’s vision and future.

He said that Meta reflects what the company does and what they hope to build as Facebook doesn’t fully encompass everything the company does now, and is still closely linked to one product.

“But over time, I hope we are seen as a metaverse company”, he added.

“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.

“Our apps and their brands, they are not changing,” he added.

“We are a company that builds technology to connect,” Zuckerberg said. “Together, we can finally put people at the center of our technology. And together, we can unlock a massively bigger creator economy.”
