Instagram has installed a new privacy setting which will default all new and existing underage accounts to an automatic private mode.

Instagram will require U.S.-based employees to work five days a week in an office, Meta confirmed on Monday.

The new return-to-office policy will take effect on Feb. 2 and is intended to foster a more creative and collaborative working environment, according to a report by the Sources newsletter that cited an employee memo by Instagram chief Adam Mosseri.

The report also noted that Mosseri aims to reduce the number of meetings at the photo-sharing unit and wants employees to debut more product prototypes instead of decks, which refers to formal written memos and related documentation.

A Meta spokesperson told CNBC that the new RTO policy only applies to Instagram and not to the company's other family of apps, like Facebook and WhatsApp.
