Login identification also included photos and names in addition to phone numbers.
On the other hand, social media app researcher Jane Manchun Wong noted that Facebook Messenger is also removing the ability to find someone by entering their phone number.Īt first, Facebook rolled out the sign up for Messenger sans account in June 2015 for users residing in the U.S., Canada, Peru, and Venezuela. This new change won’t apply to the existing Messenger users who are using the platform without Facebook accounts.Īs stated by the Messenger users who use this app without logging into their Facebook accounts, they’ve encountered an error message indicating that their account has been restricted.
In the previous versions, New users using the Messenger or Messenger Lite app could also use their phone numbers for Messengers instead of Facebook accounts but now they need a Facebook account to login to Messenger and chat with friends and close connections.Īccording to the company spokesperson, the vast majority of Facebook users already use Messenger by logging through their Facebook accounts and the social app wanted to simplify the process for its users by enabling signing up for Messenger via Facebook account. Facebook has finally removed the option to use Messenger without Facebook account, as first reported by VentureBeat.
