Facebook Inc. (FB) shares were down 3.4%, to $164.44, in morning trading Friday.

Chris Cox, one of Facebook's early engineers, said Thursday he was leaving the company. Ten months ago, Mr. Cox was promoted to oversee the company's three main platforms: Facebook, photo-sharing app Instagram and messaging service WhatsApp. WhatsApp unit head Chris Daniels also stepped down on Thursday.

The social media company also faced issues with outages this week, blaming one of its longest-ever outages on a server-configuration error. The daylong outage that began Wednesday disrupted access to its core app, Instagram and WhatsApp.
