 Facebook lite: Download Facebook Lite APK for android

Facebook Lite is, like its name suggests, a lighter version of the popular social network's mobile application. The software takes up less space on your mobile device and uses much less data than it's a more full-bodied parent app, meaning pages load quickly. And you can worry less about going over your monthly data limit.

Early this morning, Facebook uploaded a new, slimmed-down version of its app dubbed Facebook Lite to the Google Play Store. Aimed at low-end devices in emerging markets where cellular data is a little slower, we have to admit. We were plenty excited at the prospect of a 2G-friendly version of the normally bloated Facebook app.

Even on WiFi, the app is slow to load, slow to scroll, and slow to switch between News Feed, your messages, and notifications. Even with a high-end Snapdragon 801 equipped Android device, the “app” straight up feels like molasses. But as we mentioned, you do get direct access to your messages without having to install Facebook Messenger, so there’s that.

Applications:

We think Facebook really had something here and we're really hoping for a quicker, lighter, less feature heavy, Facebook app for those of who don’t need all the frill of sticker stores and the like. Sadly, Facebook Lite really just doesn’t cut it.

It is currently available for all Android 2.2+ devices in Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, or Zimbabwe via the Play Store.

As with the parent app, Facebook Lite enables you to connect with friends and family, save photos, keep up with the latest news and world events, and buy and sell locally on Facebook Marketplace. The only difference is that Facebook Lite is smaller and is designed to be used in 2G conditions. Facebook Lite not only allows you to connect to Facebook with very little internet connectivity. But it also allows you to access Messenger without needing to download the separate application.

How it Works:

The normal 'parent' app weighs approx 57MB but Facebook Lite comes in at a mere 1.59MB. It is also designed to use less RAM and CPU power and so it works well on cheaper and less powerful phones. Facebook Lite doesn't download pictures in High Def resolution or autoplay videos (perfect for saving data on a more limited plan) and the interface is more stripped down than the original with bigger, chunkier buttons and a more basic layout.
