Unable to use Facebook Messenger without Facebook account

[zicoz]

Hi, I'm trying to use Messenger without a Facebook account. I have a cheat Android tablet where it works, but when I click "I don't have a Facebook account" in the Messenger app on my desktop, my Windows tablet or my Windows phone nothing happens. Does anyone have a solution for this?

As far as I know, it will not function without having a Facebook account that is signed into Facebook and then use the same account to log into Messenger. They are complimentary apps and Messenger is an add on of sorts to the main FB app.

They added the ability to use messenger without an actual Facebook account some time ago.

You Can Now Use Facebook Messenger without a Facebook Account

And it does work on Android, but doesn't seem to work on the Windows app.
