Facebook has launched a new Android app dubbed Facebook Lite,
which aims to keep those with poor network coverage connected to
the social network.
Vijay Shankar, Product Manager for Facebook Lite, explained
the app "uses less data and works well across all network conditions.
"In many areas, networks can be slow and not able to support all the
functionality found in Facebook for Android. Facebook Lite was
built for these situations, giving people a reliable Facebook
experience when bandwidth is at a minimum."
It's currently not clear which features Facebook Lite misses out on,
but you do get core experiences such as News Feed, status updates
, photos and notifications.
Developing focus
The is likely to be kept to developing nations where network infrastructure
is poor, and the number of entry-level devices are higher.
Not only will the 1MB Facebook Lite app be quicker to download,
it'll also perform better on budget handsets boasting lesser
processors and lower amounts of RAM.
Facebook Lite is rolling out from today across Asia, and Facebook
plans to bring it to parts of Latin America, Africa and Europe in the coming weeks.
