Facebook Lite Login Page, Early today, Facebook uploaded a brand-new, lost weight version of their app called Facebook Lite to the Google Play Shop. Focused on low-end gadgets in emerging markets where cellular information is a little slower, we have to admit, we were plenty excited at the prospect of a 2G-friendly version of the usually puffed up Facebook app.
Not long after installation, our optimism was met with cold tough reality-- this app was little bit more than a wrapper for the mobile web view (ie, it's nearly identical to going to m.facebook.com). Okay, so there are some crucial differences. There's no videos (like, at all) and unlike opening Facebook in your phone's web internet browser, Facebook Lite will supply you with push notices on your Android gadget, useful if you're awaiting a crucial message and wish to stay up to date with good friends without needing to refresh the web browser.
The trade off? Facebook Lite-- which is advertised as less than 1MB (252KB), but really took up 1.16 MB after installation-- demands a fair amount of approvals from your Android gadget, comparable to the complete fledged 114MB (after installation) regular version of the app (only without the place information). Oh, did we discuss it's sluggish?
Even on WiFi, the app is slow to load, slow to scroll, and slow to change between News Feed, your messages, and alerts. Even with a high-end Snapdragon 801 equipped Android device, the "app" directly feels like molasses. But as we mentioned, you do get direct access to your messages without needing to set up Facebook Messenger, so there's that.
We think Facebook actually had something here and were truly wishing for a quicker, lighter, less function heavy, Facebook app for those of who don't need all the frill of sticker shops and so on. Unfortunately, Facebook Lite truly just does not cut it.
Facebook Lite is currently readily available for all Android 2.2+ devices in Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, or Zimbabwe through the Play Store. Those living somewhere else who 'd still want to provide it a shot, you can download it from us via the link listed below.
