The rebranding can make a huge change for not just Facebook, but also other groups like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Oculus among others. After all, the new face may lead to Facebook metaverse being the main focus. It is common for firms in the Silicon Valley to change names as it expands.

The social media platform is heavily relying on Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). With this rebranding, Facebook plans to connect people. Additionally, the firm on Tuesday announced the creation of over 10,000 new jobs in Europe.
Additionally, according to the Verge report, the new name may have a connection with Horizon. After all, Facebook renamed its in-progress VR gaming platform from Horizon to ‘Horizon Worlds’. Mark Zuckerberg is hyping up metaverse since July. First coined in a dystopian novel over 30 years ago, the word ‘metaverse’ is buzzing with new hope.
