Currently this news is making a hit on the internet. Yesterday need messenger to chat on facebook, but you no longer need facebook to chat on messenger. The social network has just announced that messenger will no longer require user to have a Facebook account in other to join the conversation. The new method is just to sign up a phone number in other words it works like whatsapp where your phone number is all that is needed.

How to sign up for messenger without a Facebook account

Download and install the messenger app from Google play store.
Open the messenger app
The messenger welcome screen will now present you with an option that reads * not on Facebook?*
Press on the option and you can then sign up with your name, phone number and photo.
Start chatting up.


At the moment this feature is only available in for countries Canada, Peru, USA and Venezuela.. But the roll out will get to other countries soon..

It will never be a threat, the battery draining and data sucking Facebook messenger can never replace the light weight and efficient whatsapp.
To enjoy Facebook you need 3G network but whatsapp work well even with one bar on 2g

This is also very light just as the whatsapp is. It require a little network.

Lemi know when it finally gets to Nigeria.

Ok

Thanks for the link, though I don't even use the app anymore, it will be useful to help others.
I prefer the Web version even on mobile

this new app is definitely a fearful competitor to Whatsapp and the like. see report here http://oscaranswers.com/facebook-messenger-accommodates-nonfacebook-users/
