Wasn't there something about Facebook messenger not requiring an account now: http://newsroom.fb.com/news/2015/06/sign-up-for-messenger-without-a-facebook-account/ ? You can just use your phone number, similar to Telegram.

I too use Telegram, but nobody else I know does...It's a shame, because the web app and phone app are both really pleasant to use!

Giving facebook my phone number is the last thing I would ever do :)

It is the main reason people switch to Telegram.

That's true... I don't have a facebook account and I'd rather they not know anything about me from me directly. They probably know some stuff from people I know (contact trawling, etc.).
