Download And Install Facebook Lite
Facebook Lite is, like its name suggests, a lighter version of the popular social network's mobile application. The software takes up less space on your mobile device and uses much less data that its more full-bodied parent app, meaning pages load quickly and you can worry less about going over your monthly data limit. Facebook Lite not only allows you to connect to Facebook with very little internet connectivity, but it also allows you to access Messenger without needing to download the separate application.
The standard Facebook app for Android—how can I put this delicately?—sucks. Not only is it probably draining more battery from your phonethan most of your other apps, Facebook has gutted the messenger functionality from it in order to push a separate app and platform. There are alternatives to the official app, but most of them can’t also send user-to-user messages.
Luckily, there’s an official solution that’s both efficient and effective: the Facebook Lite app.
What Is Facebook Lite?
Facebook created the Lite version of its Android app specifically for developing countries and other places where robust mobile Internet isn’t always available. It’s designed to offer access to all the basic functions of the site, including person-to-person messages, while using the smallest amount of bandwidth possible
The app is also designed to target low-cost phones themselves. To this end, it’s much smaller and less complex than the full Facebook app: while the standard Facebook application from the Play Store is 162MB for the application alone (without cached images and such) and Facebook’s Messenger app is another 104MB, the latest version of Facebook Lite is only 4.5MB.
Messenger Lite is pretty much the same thing as Facebook Lite…but for Messenger. Stop me if I’m going too fast here. It’s a lightweight version of the app that has fewer features, but uses less storage and bandwidth.
The odd thing is, the instant messenger functionality of Messenger is available inside the Facebook Lite app, making Messenger Lite somewhat superfluous. Messenger Lite can handle images and stickers that Facebook Lite can’t, so if those are important to you, it can be useful.
Unfortunately, Facebook Lite and Messenger Lite aren’t officially available on the Play Store in some of Facebook’s biggest markets, like the United States. Facebook would really prefer those users go to its full app (with its lucrative advertisements) rather than the one designed for more limited areas, and use the separate Messenger app too. Luckily, it’s simple to download a version of the app and install it manually.
Step One: Allow Third-Party Apps
