Messenger Lite is basically a lightweight version of the Facebook’s Messenger app, which comes with only the basic functions of its big brother app, including messaging, sending and receiving photos and links, and receiving stickers.
“With Messenger Lite, more people can stay in contact, regardless of network conditions or storage limitations on their Android devices.”
The app also costs less resources and barely uses your smartphone battery and RAM.
Messenger Lite is now available for users in Kenya, Tunisia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Venezuela. It will be rolled out in other countries in the coming months.
