Facebook always wanted to make things easier for citizens in emerging countries and this time it has made them create a lighter version to access their social network application. They introduced, ‘Facebook Lite’, which is available for Android and designed to work in low-end phones with access to 2G networks.

The CEO of the social network, Mark Zuckerberg decided to fight uncomfortable situation of users with low-end devices by introducing a lighter version of the application. Facebook Lite offers a lighter and faster app experience than what the original app has.

Appostrophic reviews; so far Facebook has not promoted the application, explaining that this only counts between 10,000 and 50,000 installations since it was uploaded to Google Play.

Currently, Facebook Lite can be downloaded in Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Zimbabwe. The app only occupies 252 Kb of memory and includes access to the messaging feature. However, Appostrophic reviews that this is certainly not the first application of Facebook aimed at emerging markets.

Going into further details, Appostrophic reviews that this APK occupies only 252 Kb in the internal memory of the device, as opposed to the 27 MB occupying the official version. This incorporates a system similar to the original notification and messaging system that integrates directly into the application.

Furthermore, Appostrophic reviews that the app is more or less the same as the conventional version. For example it offer almost similar features;

Get the News Feed and     interact with their publications

Send and receive messages     and participate in group discussions

Receive notifications
