Instagram chief Adam Mosseri mentioned the possibility to staff, according to The Information.
Meta has not commented on the report. The move comes as TikTok faces a potential sale or ban under a US law, with a compliance deadline extended by President Donald Trump in January.
Meta has also recently introduced a new video editing app, Edits, seemingly targeting users of CapCut, a similar app owned by TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance.
