Facebook is working on an app called Facebook Lite, which is optimized for low-end Android devices in emerging markets. Facebook Lite for Android smartphones launched in a limited number of countries across Asia and Africa over the weekend.
The Facebook Lite app is only 252KB, a size that is substantially lower than the 70.1MB Facebook iOS app and the 25MB Facebook Android app. Facebook Lite also works well on 2G Internet connections. The Facebook Lite app is based on Facebook’s feature phone client called Snaptu. Facebook Lite runs on Android 2.2 devices and up.
