Overview

You want to access your Facebook but everything takes forver to load because of the poor internet connection? Do you have a limited phone storage and yet you still want to add Facebook on your device? Luckily, Facebook comes with a lighter version that allows you to access most of the app’s basic functions. Facebook Lite was first introduced in 2009 but the service was discontinued after its eight-month run. However, it was reintroduced as a separate app in 2015 that features well-polished interface and functions. Ever since the app was introduced, it was merely designed for one main purpose and that is to help users access their Facebook account despite the slower or intermittent internet connections. Facebook Lite was brilliantly designed to let users access the basic Facebook functions without worrying about huge data consumption.

Features

User-Friendly Interface – Unlike the complex Facebook app screen, Facebook Lite comes with a user-friendly interface. It comes with simple navigation that allows you to access your Newsfeed, Friends, Notifications, and Messages in no time. The simple interface also allows the app to load faster.

Basic Facebook Functions –Facebook Lite may not have all the amazing new features of the full version of Facebook but it comes with all the classic and basic functions that we often use on a daily basis. Some of these basic Facebook functions include the access to your Newsfeed, interacting with friends by liking or sharing their posts, updating your status on your timeline, viewing photos, and be notified. Facebook Lite also allows you to send Friend Request and manage your Friend Request list.

Sharing Photos – The app also allows you to save and share photos directly from your phone gallery. You can also configure its privacy setting whether you want to share the photos publicly or make it only visible to your friends or chosen group of people.

Facebook Marketplace – Interestingly, one of the latest updates in Facebook Lite is the access to Facebook Marketplace which allows you to buy or sell goods online. You can also look up local businesses to see reviews, operation hours, and pictures
