Messenger Without A Facebook Account Now Possible

Most of the time, we would think that signing up for Facebook Messenger would require – yes, you’ve guessed it, a Facebook account. However, that is no longer the case assuming you happen to be in Canada, the US, Peru or Venezuela, as Zuckerberg and Co. has decreed it possible for you to sign up for Messenger – without a Facebook account.

This particular update not only allows you to do so, but you too, will continue to be able to enjoy the slew of features which are available on Messenger, and these will include the likes of photos, videos, group chats, voice and video calling, stickers and more. The only thing required on your end would be a phone number. At the Messenger welcome screen, you will see an option that says “Not on Facebook?” Select that, andsign up with your name, phone number and a photo, and you’re good to go. [Press Release]
