Messenger Lite

Facebook Messenger Lite is a lighter version of the Facebook messenger app. It takes up over 90% less space than the full app. It also uses less RAM and less CPU.

The app has core features of the standard Messenger app. With a download size of only 15.4MB and over 1 billion downloads, this app will go light on your phone’s memory and internet data plan.

Messenger Lite allows you to easily send text, photos, links, and stickers to anyone on Messenger. You can even video chat with friends.

Messenger Lite vs Messenger

Messenger Lite keeps it all focused on messaging. So, leaving the extra features behind reduces a lot of drag and provides a speedy interface when using the messenger on a humble device. Whereas the standard Messenger app includes extra features like games, stories, extensions, automated messaging from brands, and more.

The lack of extra features results in a simpler, less distracting messaging app that doesn’t take much storage space, takes less processing power, and all of this, in turn, uses very little internet data.

How the Messenger Lite Works?

It works similarly to the regular Facebook Messenger app. You’ll only see three main tabs that represent the core features of Messenger. These are Home, Contacts, and Account located at the top of your screen.

You can Messenger Lite on any Android device. The app is specifically built to function properly on smartphones with a smaller RAM so they can multitask easily. The main reasons for developing this app are:

• De-cluttering all unnecessary Messenger features to use only for messaging and video calls.
• Older or cheaper Android devices with limited processing power.
• Devices with low storage space.
• People have fewer mobile data plans.
• Connections to unstable or low-speed networks.
