Instagram moves majority of staff from London to New York

Adam Mosseri’s ambitions for London, were crushed by Meta’s cost-cutting, according to two people with knowledge of the operation

Instagram is relocating most of its staff, including the social media platform’s head Adam Mosseri, from London to New York as part of a widespread restructuring effort at parent company Meta.

The photo app had been building a new hub in the UK in recent months, where its engineering and product teams are based, but is now asking workers to move to the US, according to three people aware of the plans. Mosseri moved from California to London less than eight months ago.
