Meta and its Tech Focus Now
Meta is developing its apps and features more often now, and it already focuses on the metaverse and its future deployment for public use. One of the most popular features of the metaverse is Meta AI, and it is what CEO Mark Zuckerberg demonstrated last week to the public, focusing on a virtual world made by one's voice.
Facebook also sees massive development now, and it focuses on the new Reels available on the platform for users to browse and upload their portrait video uploads that resemble TikTok. The feature from Instagram transcended over to Facebook to bring a different experience to users, and it makes the Reels feature closer than ever.
However, social media still focuses on global events, and some say that this is the closest that Meta extends their help to the torn countries.
Meta actively participated in the current Russia and Ukraine conflict, and it is through the various efforts that the company made to help deescalate the present tension between both countries. For now, people have to face two conflicts at a time, and that is the global pandemic brought by COVID-19 and the European countries' tension.
