- Jane Manchun Wong, known for reporting on unannounced app features, is among those laid off.
- The company is realigning resources with long-term strategic goals and location strategy, according to spokesperson Dave Arnold.
- This follows a series of layoffs in the Reality Labs division and the layoff of 21,000 employees in 2022 and 2023.
