If you didn’t already know, Facebook owns the biggest messaging app WhatsApp and the biggest photo-sharing platform Instagram. Well, if you didn’t then Facebook wants to put that information front and center with a surprise rebranding. The social media giant has now added a ‘from Facebook’ suffix to both of these apps.
The rebranding seems to be in its nascent stages and we can expect an official word on Facebook’s decision really soon. “We want to be clearer about the products and services that are part of Facebook,” told a Facebook spokesperson to The Information. The social media giant recently informed Instagram and WhatsApp employees about the change. It falls in line with the antitrust examination of its acquisition of both the companies.
