Facebook’s parent company announced Tuesday that it will end its Workplace program focused on Meta Platforms as the company focuses on building artificial intelligence and metaverse technologies.
The work will be closed to customers starting in June 2026, but Meta will continue to use it as an internal message board and users will be able to access the product until August 2025, he said.
Over the next two years, we’ll give our workplace customers the option to transition to Zoom’s Workvivo, Meta’s only preferred migration partner,” said a Meta spokesperson. .
The company’s communication app, Workplace, was first introduced in 2016 with new features including multi-company teams and shared spaces that allow employees from different organizations to work together.
The move has raised concerns that the social media giant has invested heavily in AI products and the metaverse, a shared virtual environment that will be the successor to mobile internet, which could hurt growth.
The company said its billing and payment plans will remain unchanged for on-premise customers until August this year.
Unless the organization has a fixed plan, the monthly bill is calculated by the number of paying users.
