According to tech news website Recode, Facebook has made longtime executive Chris Cox incharge of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger – now called a “family of apps.”
“Facebook is also building a new team dedicated to Blockchain technology. David Marcus, the executive in-charge of Facebook’s standalone messaging app, Messenger, is leaving that post to run the Blockchain group,” the report said late on Tuesday.
The Blockchain team would come under “New platforms and infra” run by Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Mike Schroepfer, who will also take care of Facebook’s AR, VR and Artificial Intelligence initiatives.
