Facebook, which includes the world’s largest social media platforms, has recently announced that it has taken a very radical decision. The founder of the company, Mark Zuckerberg, said that the name of the company will now be Meta. Announcing a special ecosystem, Zuckerberg promised a virtual world in this technological ecosystem called Metaverse.
Now, there has been a remarkable development regarding Facebook’s new name Meta. In the latest Android beta versions of Facebook’s instant messaging application WhatsApp and the online photo and video platform Instagram, the phrase Meta has begun to appear. It seems that the change made by the developers will soon reach all WhatsApp users around the world. With this step, it seems that users will get used to Meta and its logo.
Here is the Meta phrase and logo on WhatsApp
As it is known, WhatsApp had a new splash screen a while ago. This splash screen had the WhatsApp logo and the phrase “from Facebook” at the bottom of the screen. That has changed with the latest Android beta version of the mobile app. Users now see Meta text and the company’s new logo instead of Facebook. On the other hand; The same is happening on Instagram.
The latest step taken by WhatsApp developers is hardly surprising. Because, Will Cathcart, one of the senior managers of WhatsApp, announced that the Meta phrase and its logo will begin to appear on WhatsApp in his statements a while ago. The latest Android beta version of the instant messaging application has brought this change to the testing phase. Considering that Instagram is also a sister to WhatsApp, we can say that this step is not surprising for anyone.
