Facebook to rename WhatsApp and Instagram

As part of Facebook's rebranding, WhatsApp and Instagram will be renamed. These two applications have always been known as "WhatsApp From Facebook" (WhatsApp From Facebook) and "Instagram From Facebook" (Instagram From Facebook). The Information, which first reported the change, said it was "part of a broader change to connect the three apps together and bring them under the Facebook banner". Since Facebook purchased WhatsApp and Instagram, we know that there is no Facebook logo on WhatsApp and Instagram to indicate that they are part of the Facebook family. Obviously Facebook has adopted a strategy to maximize their independent operations. But now things are changing. The new name will allow us to connect the three applications. It will appear not only on Facebook's internal branding, but also on names that appear on Google Play and the App Store. The name on the device's main menu remains unchanged for now, but the new name may appear when users open it. Facebook said it was determined to "bring clarity to the products and services they call part of Facebook." When communicating in the office, its collaborative office software Workplace is called "Workplace from Facebook", the virtual reality software Oculus has a similar name, and even Boomerang is also called "Boomerang from Instagram". The picture accompanying the historical article has expired The name change actually shows that Facebook is trying to make its three applications more closely connected and allow them to develop independently, but they need to be unified under the same underlying framework. This will allow people to send messages to WhatsApp via Instagram DMs, Zuckerberg wrote in a lengthy post in March this year"A social network vision centered on owned channels"This view was also expressed in it. Xiao Zha said in that article that he decided to letFacebook becomes a platform centered on owned channels； "People can voluntarily choose what kind of services they use to communicate with others."He stated in the article,“But today if you want to communicate with people on Facebook, you have to use Messenger, on Instagram you have to use Direct, on WhatsApp you have to use WhatsApp.” “Allowing people to choose their favorite apps and communicate with their friends online,”Zuckerberg said. The close cooperation of the three services has also led to some problems. Facebook has actually encountered many such failures this year. Including the bigger failures in their history. These glitches caused multiple outages for WhatsApp and Instagram.
