The new name of Instagram and WhatsApp is rather a surname and has a very clear purpose

Are you one of those who have already forgotten about Facebook? Do you keep your account active just to let you know about birthdays you forget? Do you think that the social network that changed the world of social networks is already somewhat outdated? Well, Facebook is not willing to forget about him yet, and that’s why he has decided to change his name to Whatsapp and Instagram.

Quiet, it will be nothing elaborate. Rather, they will include the last name so you always remember that Facebook is the owner of the fashion social network and one of the best known instant messaging services.

The new name of Instagram and WhatsApp

In this way, Instagram will become Instagram from Facebook and WhatsApp, WhatsApp from Facebook as stated by The Information and subsequently confirmed by Facebook itself.

This gesture has already been done with Boomerang, for example. The app to make gifs was bought by the company, which decided to change its name to Boomerang from Instagram.

With this new measure, it is fun to think that it may be transformed into the absurd Facebook Boomerang Instagram, a name loaded with backpacks as if we were in The Lord of the Rings presenting Aragorn, son of Arathorn, heir of Isildur, lord of the Dúnedain, heir to the throne of Gondor.

It seems that the intention is clear, try not to forget who’s in charge here. Facebook is the owner of both apps and does not want you to forget that under any circumstances.

Although now the question is, will it work for anything? Facebook and its controversies with privacy have caused it to be a social network less and less loved, and that those who were once fans of Facebook, now are Instagram (although both leave the same site).

Mark Zuckerberg is stubborn, he wants to continue betting on his star social network, turning it into a dating app and even trying to communicate through it with his mind with his new project. He resists falling into oblivion, like that heavy ex-boyfriend who wants to always feel in your life, even if you don’t even remember him.
