Facebook told news agency Reuters that it “does not comment on rumor or speculation.”
The rebranding would likely position the Facebook social media app as one of the several products under the umbrella of a parent company, which will oversee groups like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Oculus, The Verge said.

The social media giant has described its “metaverse” project as “a new phase of interconnected virtual experiences” that make use of virtual and augmented reality and this week said it would hire 10,000 people in the EU to work on the project.
