Jakarta, Selular.ID – Do you need a Facebook account to create a WhatsApp account, maybe if you are new to what WhatsApp is. Even though WhatsApp is a subsidiary of Facebook, the two are completely unrelated and function separately for the most part.
WhatsApp Messenger, more commonly referred to as WhatsApp, is one of the best chatting apps out there. It is very popular, mainly because of its safety and usability.
Users can make voice calls and send each other text messages, audio snippets, pictures, documents, and other files for free. Since Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook owns the app, it’s a bit unclear whether the two social media platforms are integrated.
This is very confusing because Instagram, one of the other social networking subsidiaries, is already doing it. However, this is not the case with WhatsApp. Having a Facebook account is not a prerequisite for using WhatsApp.
Users can register for an account on either platform or both if they wish. The free messaging app’s services and features don’t mix with Facebook. The only exception to this is WhatsApp Business, which allows businesses to link their Facebook page to their business account.
Even so, you don’t need a Facebook account for the business version of WhatsApp. Then what do you need to open a WhatsApp account.
Depending on where you live, the requirements for opening a WhatsApp account are slightly different. First, you must be at least 16 years old if you live in Europe, or at least 13 in all other parts of the world.
The only other thing you need is a phone number, and that’s it very easy to open a WhatsApp user account. These rules are universal and apply to all WhatsApp platforms, including Android, iOS, and Windows.
Now that you are on top of everything, you can go ahead and open an account on the chat platform with or without your Facebook account.
