Which company operates Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp under one corporate name?

Meta Platforms operates Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp under one corporate name.

The company changed its name from Facebook, Inc. to Meta Platforms, Inc. in October 2021. The rebranding emphasized its interest in the metaverse, while Facebook remained the name of its flagship social-networking service.

Meta’s family of major applications includes Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. These platforms give the company a huge global audience and support its primary advertising business. Meta also develops virtual- and augmented-reality hardware through its Reality Labs division, including Quest headsets.

Meta is frequently included among the world’s richest companies by market capitalization, but its ranking moves as investors reassess advertising demand, user growth, expenses, and technology investments. It is sometimes confused with Alphabet because both own major digital platforms; Alphabet centers on Google and YouTube, whereas Meta’s best-known services are social and messaging networks.
