Does Facebook own Instagram and WhatsApp
There is Facebook, the social network used by billions of people around the world, and then there is another Facebook, the parent company of several social networks and large tech organizations. Facebook's parent company owns Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus and, of course, the social network of the same name. Lost? You are not the only ones. This is exactly what worries the Facebook company. And that's the reason why she presented a new logo this Monday, November 4.Facebook Marketing Director Antonio Lucio said on the blog revealing the new logo: “We are updating our branding to be clear the products that come from Facebook company. We are introducing now a new corporate logo and further distinguishing Facebook from the Facebook application, which will retain its our brand. " He added "people should know which companies are making the products they are using."
Here's what he means: The logo you see above is only meant to represent the parent company of Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram (among other divisions). This is not a new logo for the social network Facebook.
The new logo will appear on apps like Instagram and WhatsApp to clarify who owns it and who produces them
This new logo is expected to roll out to various Facebook products over the coming weeks.
Facebook began this year to explicitly state that it owns services like Instagram and WhatsApp in order to be more and more transparent with people who might not know which tech companies own which services.
