How is Meta related to Facebook?

Meta and Facebook are essentially the same company, with Meta being the new name for the social media giant. In October 2021, Facebook announced that it would be changing its name to Meta, with the company's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, stating that the new name reflects its vision of creating a metaverse.

The move to Meta also means that Facebook's parent company will now be called Meta Platforms, and its subsidiaries, including Instagram and WhatsApp, will retain their current names and branding. The social media platform will continue to operate as Facebook, with no immediate changes to the platform itself.

While the name and branding may have changed, Meta's relationship with Facebook remains the same. The company will continue to operate as a social media platform, and will also focus on developing and expanding its virtual and augmented reality capabilities, in line with its vision of creating a metaverse.
