Anyone who is not a Facebook member can, however, from now on stay in touch with friends using the Messenger application for iPhone and Android which can be used now without the need for a Facebook account . Facebook Messenger then becomes a more similar app, as a setting, to Whatsapp and provide a free platform to exchange messages, to send photos and also to make free phone calls and video calls from your mobile phone.
Facebook, of course, encourages new users to register for an account, but makes the app usable only with the phone number, without having to register a profile.
From the application, instead of pressing the button to log in with Facebook, you can touch the writing "you are not on Facebook" at the bottom and provide the mobile number, plus a photo.
After registration and confirmation, as also happens in Whatsapp, friends who use Facebook Messenger and have our number in the address book can contact us in Facebook Messenger.
All the features and functions of Messenger, including the ability to send photos, stickers and videos, make group chats, voice calls and video calls can be used freely.
Those who use Messenger without a Facebook account cannot search for people, but, as in Whatsapp, they can only chat with the people whose phone number you have.
Using Messenger without a connected Facebook account can be useful to those who have always refused to join, for companies and organizations, those who want to separate the Facebook global chat and keep their personal phone number only to communicate with friends.
