This change is now also being implemented for the popular WhatsApp and Instagram services: As can already be seen in the current beta version 2.21.22.21 for Android, the new name “WhatsApp from Meta” can now be read here instead of “WhatsApp from Facebook” (via: WABetaInfo).
The name change has also already been implemented in the iOS version for iPhones in the latest beta version 2.21.220.14.
