Facebook Lite 231.0.0.5.122 – Download for Android APK for free

The success of Mark Zuckerberg’s social network is undeniable and due to its massive use by millions of people around the world, it has gradually added dozens features that have made the smartphone application heavier from the day. This leads to increased battery and memory consumption, making it possible to only download and run on powerful smartphones and tablets.

Therefore, if we have a low-end phone, we have only two options: use the web version, which is not optimized for these devices, or resort to an application that comes with only the most of the basic functions of this social network. Obviously we are talking about Facebook Lite, with which the company wants to guarantee its expansion in those places where it is difficult to have a high-tech phone or where it is almost impossible to access a 4G data network.

But, can it only be used on humble phones? No, if you have the latest model in the Samsung Galaxy range or even a Nexus, you can also install its APK, because you might want to save money on your mobile data consumption or just because you do not need all the features offered the full version.

What are the main differences?

Well, you will only be able to perform those actions that were originally designed for this social network, in other words:

• Update your status and comment on your friends’ posts.
• Receive alerts for “like” tags or comments.
• See what your friends are doing.
• Share different content, such as photos or links.

As you can see, rather basic functions, so you should forget about transmission live video with Facebook Lite or any other feature that requires enormous bandwidth or high performance material. Among its main features, we can point out:

• It weighs less than 1 MB.
• Compatible with all Android phones.
• Lower data consumption.
• Compatible with 2G networks.
• Send messages without having to download Facebook Messenger.
• Uploads content faster.

Whether you have a powerful phone or not, it is a great choice if you do not want to consume data and resources. Just the basics.

A functional and sober design

Once you open the application, you will see it soon its interface is much more sober and insists on the most basic features of this social network. At the top, it gives us access to the user activities and pages you follow, friend requests, messages, notifications, searches, and the user menu.

The most remarkable feature is that if we use the full version of the social network on our phone, we will not be able to send messages as we are forced to download the messaging and instant messaging application, Messenger. However, here we will be able to send messages, although we should forget about video calling.

And no, there is no such thing as a lite version for iPhone … we will only be able to download the APK for Android smartphone and tablet.

What’s new in the latest version?

• Speed ​​and stability improvements.
