It’s the highest-level departure at the social media giant amid nearly two years of sustained crises.

Facebook Inc.’s top executive in charge of all products, Chris Cox, the longtime confidant of Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, is leaving the company.

Facebook will not appoint a direct replacement for Cox; rather, the leaders of each app will report to Zuckerberg. Longtime Facebook executive Will Cathcart will head WhatsApp. “We have made real progress on many issues and we have a clear plan for our apps,” Zuckerberg said in his post. “As we embark on this next major chapter, Chris has decided now is the time to step back from leading these teams.”

He launched Facebook's flagship scrolling news feed nearly a decade ago and ran human resources before he was promoted to run the Facebook app in 2014.On Wednesday morning.
