In July, he stated that over the next many years, "we will effectively transition from people seeing us as primarily being a social media company to being a metaverse company."

A change could further divide the futuristic work Zuckerberg. He focused on from the full analysis Facebook is currently under for how its social platform serves today. 

Facebook is not the first well-known company to rebrand its company name. In 2015, under a holding company called Alphabet, Google changed partly to mean that it was no longer just a search engine. Rather it is a sprawling conglomerate with firms making driverless vehicles and well-being tech. 

Moreover, Snapchat rebranded to Snap Inc. in 2016. The same year it began calling itself a "camera company" and debuted its first set of Spectacles camera glasses.

The metaverse is 'going to be a big focus.' I believe that this is going to be a significant part of the following chapter for the way that the internet grows after the mobile internet," stated Zuckerberg.
