Social Media in The Metaverse

It is strongly believed that the Metaverse will be an extension of social media. The Metaverse is similar to already existing social media platforms where collaboration, networking, and shopping occurs. Social media networks are given new opportunities because of the Metaverse. For example, Facebook changed its name to Meta and is embracing the Metaverse by allowing users to socialize, game, shop, learn, etc. in their Meta Horizon Home service. Augmented reality (AR) is an important feature to the Metaverse as well. Snapchat has been including AR in their snapchat filters for a long time now. Although Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel is against the Metaverse he is unintentionally supporting it. Gaming platforms such as Roblox and Fortnite are adapting into social media platforms and gradually growing into the metaverse. It is only a matter of time before the Metaverse takes over and these social media platforms need to adapt!
