It's been possible for quite some time to delete your Facebook account but continue to use Facebook messenger under those previous credentials, if you didn't know.
- mont 8y agoI was aware you can deactivate your facebook account but keep using messenger. I wasn't aware that deleting your account was ever possible.
- pixxel 8y agoIt’s a deliberate pig to delete but the pretence of deletion is there.
- mAEStro-paNDa 8y agoDo you have more information on this? My understanding was that you couldn't use the same credentials, instead registering a phone number for this.
- dvtrn 8y agoAll of the links I've conjured up are pointing to the same bit of information, will continue to hunt down more but I can say at least for my account I was able to fully delete my FB account, and login to the browser version of messenger.com using the same email/pass combo. I've also been able to log into the Messenger mobile app without giving them a phone number (I was prompted, but not required at the time to enter a phone number). This all happened back in July of last year, so if the mechanism has changed since then, it's entirely possible you're correct that a phone number is now required instead of optional, as it was for me-and everyone else before the change and we just got 'grandfathered' in. Maybe?
