We all know and love Facebook, but the app is rather large and can take up quite a bit of space on your device. In addition, it can be extremely slow and hard to use for people living in developing countries with slower internet connections. That is why Facebook has released a new slimmed-down version of their popular app, Facebook Lite.
The new app offers pretty much all of the features of the regular app, but it takes up less space on your device and doesn’t require a fast internet connection to run properly.
Facebook Lite allows you to connect with all your friends. You can post status updates and share photos and videos through the app. It’s also a great way to find local events you’re interested in or start your own events and invite friends to join.
The app lets you reply and comment on your friends’ posts. Add your comments to any of your friend’s posts, or use Facebook’s reaction emojis to let your friends know how you feel about their latest updates. It’s also a great way to keep up with your favorite celebrities, businesses and websites. Follow their pages to keep up to date with all of their latest news and updates.
Facebook has always been a great place to store and organize photos and Facebook Lite is no different. You can upload photos to the app and share your best pictures with your friends. You can share photos right from your camera and easily capture and share moments instantly. You can also decide on who to share your photos with and even set up a secret photo album that only a select group of your friends can view.
The new app is only 1.68 megabytes, making downloading it extremely fast. It’s been available on iOS for a while now and an Android version has just recently been introduced.
If you live in a country with slower internet connections, you’ll immediately notice a difference when you start using Facebook Lite. It has been specifically designed for these types of conditions, which means it can run smoothly on virtually any connection. It also uses far less data than the regular app so if you pay by the megabyte, you don’t have to worry about racking up huge fees every time you scroll through your Facebook feed.
So, what exactly is different about Facebook Lite?
A lot of the differences are behind the scenes, so you likely won’t notice them. However, if you’ve used the regular Facebook app before, you will notice some differences in the way the new app looks. It’s a lot cleaner and simpler and there aren’t any animations when you interact with posts. This is all designed to keep the app running as quickly and smoothly as possible while using just a small amount of data.
Facebook Lite basically does everything the regular Facebook app does but just with a little less flair. If you love Facebook but live in an area where internet connections are slower, you should definitely try Facebook Lite to see if it offers a better experience for you.
