Washington, ANI. Social media giant Facebook announced the new name of its company late on Thursday night.
Now it will be known under the new name of Meta. After 17 years, Facebook gave information about this decision to change the name by tweeting. The social media company Facebook, which started in 2004, said that the metaverse, a new chapter of social media, would be the new path of social connection. This is a collective project that will be made by people from all over the world. Also it will be open to all.
Facebook said in a series of tweets from its official Twitter handle, “The names of the apps we created – Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp – will remain the same.” Various apps and technologies will be brought under this new brand.
However, the company will not change its corporate structure. Addressing the company’s Augmented Realty Conference, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the new name will focus on building the metaverse.
Let us tell you that the word ‘metaverse’ was used in the dystopian novel three decades ago. However, for the time being this word remains a topic of discussion in Silicon Valley. The term is used to explain virtual and interactive space in the digital world.
The metaverse is actually a virtual world where a man can exist even though he is not physically present. For this virtual reality is used.
