Technology The Verge: Facebook plans to change its name next week

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he will announce the name change in more detail on October 28th.

Social media company Facebook plans to change its name next week, says the technology site The Verge.

Underlying the name change is Facebook’s desire to rebrand itself while it plans to become a metaverse company.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg tells The Verge that he plans to talk more about the name change at the company’s annual Connect event on October 28, but also says the name itself may be announced earlier.

With a metaverse refers to shared virtual environments accessible through the Internet that can, for example, combine the physical and virtual worlds.

With the rebranding, the Facebook app is likely to move to a single service under the renamed parent company, such as Instagram and Whatsapp already are.

Facebook is by no means the first technology giant to seek to redefine itself with a new name. For example, in 2015, Google concentrated all of its operations under the new Alphabet parent company to show that it is much more than just a search engine.
