Facebook ‘Lite’ launched in Asia for lesser bandwiths

Facebook ‘Lite’, an application developed for Android smartphones in places where wireless data bandwidth is less, released on Thursday.

Facebook Lite is built to use lesser data and work well in constrained telecommunications network conditions. The app is mainly designed for the users of developing countries.

As per Facebook, the new app will be available in Asia and said that the application will be available in part of Europe, Africa, and Latin America in coming weeks.

“In many areas, networks can be slow and not able to support all the functionality found in Facebook for Android,” the leading social network said in an online post.

“Facebook Lite was built for these situations, giving people a reliable Facebook experience when bandwidth is at a minimum.”
