Facebook Inc has allowed users without an account to sign up for its Messenger app with a mobile number, the social media company said on Wednesday, in another move to broad the app's reach and make it stand alone platform.
Earlier this year, Facebook opened up Messenger to developers, and Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said he wanted to connect users directly with retailers, restaurants, and other businesses for their convenience.
With the latest update, users will be prompted by an option that says "Not on Facebook?" when they open app. They can have to sign up with their name, phone number and a photo.
This messaging service,which has 600 million users, has added a number of new features in recent months, such as games and video calling.
