Thoughts on the new name?
Just to clear up any confusion, META is Facebook's new *corporate* name. The names of the APPS that the company builds – Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp – remain the same.
But, Meta will be retiring the Oculus brand starting early 2022. Oculus Quest will be Meta Quest and the Oculus App will be Meta Quest App.
Also, the Facebook Portal will be known as the Meta Portal.
Facebook Reality Labs will become just Reality Labs.
