Description

Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities - we're just getting started.

WhatsApp Calling's mission is to build real time communication products to facilitate meaningful conversation in your daily life.

We see this as a natural progression - as networks, bandwidth and devices improve globally, it becomes easier to join a call with the same groups you message with today. Calling is the key to win in communities, growing new clients like native desktops, serving businesses, or offering bridges to the Metaverse. Building near real-time experiences requires constant innovations in low latency, highly reliable and scalable solutions.
