SAN FRANCISCO (Web Desk) – Social media networking site Facebook Inc has allowed users without an account to sign up for its Messenger app with a phone number.
The social media company said on Wednesday, in another move to broaden the app’s reach and make it a standalone platform.
Earlier, CEO Mark Zuckerberg had said he wanted to connect users directly with retailers, restaurants and other businesses. With the latest update, users will be prompted by an option that says “Not on Facebook?” when they open the app. They can then sign up with their name, phone number and a photo.
