Make it so my contacts don't need a Facebook account but just a Messenger account.
Make it so contacts can populate on my Portal and not need an actual Facebook account. Some people don't want a Facebook account but have a Messenger account. If I'm friends on Messenger, they should show up on Portal.
As of the latest software update (version 1.01), you are now able communicate with users that just have Messenger accounts. Please note that in order to set up and use Portal, the owner of the device must still have a full Facebook account. I do also want to note that this new functionality does not extend to Messenger Kids. There is a separate feature request for Messenger Kids support that you can vote for here: https://portal.uservoice.com/forums/916228-portal/suggestions/36286831-integrate-with-messenger-for-kids
Thanks again for this submission!

This won't allow me to vote. Did you shut this down?

This is horrible - how could you not support logging in with Messenger?!?! You built Messenger, you separated it out and you don't allow people to log in with Messenger? It's not like you have to integrate with IG or WA, you already built Messenger. Is there any logical explanation for this?

Yes, it would be great for my kids who just have the kids messenger and not a full Facebook account.

They will never do this :-/ it's a Facebook product and they want to get people on Facebook to grow and make more money . But I totally agree with you 100% so I'll vote for you
