What is Facebook?
Facebook was made by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004. Mark Zuckerberg made Facebook in his college life. They made Facebook make friends with college students. On this website, a student can make their account and can chat with strangers, and can make friends. The idea of Facebook to chat with college students without meeting them was very new and it attracted a lot of people and they joined Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg made Facebook with his best friend Eduardo Saverin. One day Mark Zuckerberg had a fight with his girlfriend. So in anger and to take revenge he made a website where people can compare two girls looks and can choose the best of them. This website made chaos in just a few hours. All college students came to that website and compared girls. Mark Zuckerberg was using college servers to host that website. Due to this, only college students with valid college email can use this website. After this website got famous in just a few hours, the college took down this website and charged Mark Zuckerberg to make this website because Mark Zuckerberg hacked the college server to run this website. But after this Mark got famous in college and then Mark thought of an idea to make a website where college students can chat with each other without meeting. This website idea was genius because you can check what they like, whether they are single or not, their gender, their age, their hometown, their face, and many more. It has become a dating source for a lot of people. Mark worked on this idea for almost 40 days and on the 41st day, he made “The Facebook”. Yes, you read right first people called it Facebook.
This time Mark doesn’t use a college server to host this website instead he buys servers to host this website. As we know Mark doesn’t have enough money to host that website so he asked his best friend Eduardo Saverin. Eduardo Saverin belongs to a rich family. For his contribution, Mark made him the Co-Founder and the Co-owner of Facebook. Now when this website goes live it attracts all college students. Every college student was using Facebook to make friends. It has gotten so popular in recent months that other colleges want to use this website too. So, mark changed its settings from only college id users to everyone. Now, other college students are also using this website. But there was one problem: this website wasn’t earning that time. Due to this, Eduardo Saverin wants to add some advertisements to this website so they can earn something from this website. But Mark doesn’t agree with Eduardo Saverin; he thinks advertisements will ruin Facebook. Eduardo Saverin tries to find a client who can advertise themselves on Facebook. At this time Mark Zuckerberg changed their name from Facebook to Meta. It was not some big change but still, it matters for Mark. After some time, Eduardo Saverin sues Mark for diluting his shares on Facebook. Mark has to pay a big amount to Eduardo Saverin for this. Now Eduardo Saverin is not the Co-Owner of Facebook but he is still the Co-Founder of Facebook. If you search on google that who is the Co-Founder of Facebook then you will see his face there. Now Facebook is famous worldwide. People in almost every county are using it. Facebook is an easy tool to make friends online. It doesn’t matter if you are in another country or anything else you can chat with anyone there who is registered himself here.

What is Facebook messenger?
Now we talked about what Facebook is and how it works. Now the question is what is the messenger? Facebook is a chatting app for Facebook…Facebook and messenger are connected. You can’t chat with anyone if you don’t have a Facebook messenger. Messenger creates a good environment to chat with someone. It has sending stickers, sending emojis, sending pictures, sending GIFs, and many more options. You can do audio calls and video calls through messenger.

Instagram is the child company of Meta (Facebook), it works mostly the same as Facebook. And, Instagram gives more privacy to its users than Facebook. Instagram is focused on photo-sharing social media. Like Facebook has an add friend option, Instagram has a follow, unfollow option. If you are a public figure you can verify your account on Instagram. You can only those people who you follow unless they have a public account. Instagram gives its users an option of private and public accounts. In the private account, others have to follow you to see your post and stories and in the public account, others can see your post and stories without following you. So, we can see Instagram has the same function as Facebook; it just gives more privacy to its users.
WhatsApp is a chatting tool.
