During his tenure at Facebook, he additionally oversaw Facebook Home, the company’s unsuccessful attempt at bringing a mobile homescreen to Android devices.
On October 1, 2018, Facebook announced that Mosseri would assume as the new head of Instagram, following the resignation of the photo-sharing app’s founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger in September 2018.
Mosseri’s title as head of Instagram differs from the title of former leadership as CEO as Facebook reserves CEO titles for company founders.
As company head, Mosseri is expected to hire a new executive team and oversee “all functions of the business”.
