In a major rebrand, Facebook has changed its name to Meta.
The name change will not apply to individual platforms but will be for the parent company, as it broadens into virtual reality (VR).
“Over time, I hope that we are seen as a metaverse company and I want to anchor our work and our identity on what we’re building towards,” said Mark Zuckerberg in a conference.
“We’re now looking at and reporting on our business as two different segments, one for our family of apps, and one for our work on future platforms.
“And as part of this, it is time for us to adopt a new company brand to encompass everything that we do, to reflect who we are and what we hope to build.”
The new headquarters will be in Menlo Park, California and the Facebook logo will change from the thumbs up to an infinity sign.
