Facebook is changing its name to Meta.
The social media giant announced it would be rebranding earlier this month, and on Thursday (28.10.21) it was officially announced during the company’s Connect event that the new name will be Meta.
“We also intend to start trading under the new stock ticker we have reserved, MVRS, on December 1. Today’s announcement does not affect how we use or share data.”
Facebook’s name change was first announced on October 19, when the company – who also owns Instagram and WhatsApp – said it was trying to shift away from being known as just a social media company.
