When Mark Zuckerberg, the man of Facebook, declared that the firm would change its name in 2021, it caused quite a stir. The parent firm, which was originally known as Facebook, is now called Meta. Maybe your name has also changed. And you really need to update your Facebook profile. Thank goodness, your Facebook name is temporary. You are permitted to modify it, but you must follow specific naming guidelines and you cannot change it at random. (On Facebook, a name change is permitted only every 60 days.)
