Facebook has a new plan to grow its user base—and mobile
revenue—by expanding the reach of its mobile messenger app. Starting Tuesday, according to CNBC, anyone with a mobile phone can sign up for Facebook Messenger, using just a
name and phone number.
With Facebook's growth in developed markets slowing as it
nears market saturation, this streamlined sign-up process aims to draw users in
countries where email or computer access is harder to come by.
"People will message more on Facebook as a result of
this feature," said Facebook's director of product Peter Deng. "Over
time we are building a large ecosystem, and there are ways for us to bring
value to a lot of different parties in this ecosystem…."
