We're committed to connecting people with the things they care about - no matter their connection, device, or where they live." Now we're testing these experiences on iOS. Up until now, Facebook Lite and Messenger Lite have only been available on Android. In comparison, the Facebook Lite app for iOS is about 16.3MB in size.Ī Facebook spokesperson also confirmed the release to the publication, "When we first rolled out FB Lite and Messenger Lite as standalone apps, our goal was to deliver the power of a native app, with as many of the same features as possible while still being lightweight. The Facebook Messenger app is about 140MB in size, while the Messenger Lite app is only 10MB in size on the App Store. TechCrunch was first tipped off about this development, and the app was spotted on the App Store by app intelligence firm Sensor Tower. This comes shortly after the Facebook Lite app was launched for iOS users in Turkey. The iOS app is only available for Turkey users for now, but it should roll out in more regions soon. The Messenger Lite app is small in size, uses less data, and works even in spotty connectivity. Now, after two years, the Facebook Messenger Lite app has been launched for iOS users as well.
Also, Lite doesn't support Secret Conversations, Facebook's end-to-end encrypted chat, but hey, that's what Signal's for anyway.Facebook launched a stripped down version of its Messenger chat app in October 2016, but it was available only for Android users back then. Secondly, if you are for some reason heavily invested in the Facebook Messenger games ecosystem, which I know must exist because there is a game controller tab in the Messenger app every time I open it, you should stick with the full-fledged version. Sorry! Facebook only released Messenger Lite on Android, with no signs of an iOS version in the offing. That directive comes with a couple of caveats: If you have an iPhone, this does not apply to you.
And guess what? You should switch over to it immediately. This week, Lite launched for those four more developed markets as well. Facebook first launched Lite a year ago, intending it for markets whose fickle or low-bandwidth internet connections would collapse under the weight of the full-fledged Messenger platform. You may have heard of Messenger Lite already, and if you live outside of the US, UK, Canada, or Ireland, you may already be using it. Anecdotally, there’s a decent chance you harbor deep resentments toward its sluggishness, its bloat, and its liberally borrowed Snapchat features. Statistically speaking, there’s a pretty good chance you’re one of the 1.2 billion people who use Facebook Messenger at least once a month.
