You're referring to the recent rebranding of Facebook!

On October 28, 2021, Facebook, Inc. announced that it would be rebranding its company to Meta Platforms, Inc. and changing its corporate name to Meta. The company's social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, will continue to operate under their existing names.

The rebranding is part of a broader effort to expand the company's focus beyond social media and into the metaverse, a virtual world that combines elements of virtual reality, augmented reality, and the internet. Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has stated that the company's new name reflects its ambition to build a more comprehensive and immersive online experience.

Here's a breakdown of the changes:

• Facebook, Inc. becomes Meta Platforms, Inc.
• The company's stock ticker symbol changes from FB to META.
• The company's social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, remain unchanged.
• The company's new mission is to "bring the metaverse to life and help people connect, find community, and be their authentic selves."

It's worth noting that the rebranding has been met with some criticism and skepticism, with some arguing that the company is trying to distance itself from its past controversies and scandals. However, Meta has emphasized that the rebranding is part of a broader effort to evolve and adapt to changing technologies and user needs.
