Facebook has decided to change the names of WhatsApp and Instagram on the grounds that their names have been worn out after the personal data breach scandal. According to the decision, the word ‘Facebook’ will be added to the beginning of the names of WhatsApp and Instagram.
According to the news in Business Insider, Facebook has decided to change the name of Instagram to ‘Instagram from Facebook’ and WhatsApp to ‘WhatsApp from Facebook’. The reason behind the decision is to protect the brand value of both applications after the personal data breach scandal.
The name of the application will appear in a new way in the application download markets, but users will still see the names Instagram and WhatsApp while using the application.
In a statement made by Facebook, it was stated that the name change was made to remind that both applications are part of Facebook.
Facebook has agreed to pay a $5 billion fine following an investigation by the US Department of Justice over violations of personal rights.
