Facebook
brings Messenger 'Lite' to India
Messenger
Lite was previously rolled out in countries such as Vietnam, Nigeria, Peru,
Turkey, Germany, Japan and the Netherlands.
In its bid to
connect people in markets where mobile internet connections are slow, Facebook
on Thursday rolled out the "lite" version of its Messenger app in
India.
"Messenger
Lite" is a lightweight, fast and simpler version that offers the core
features of the app for markets with slower than average internet speeds and a
prevalence of basic Android smartphones, the company said in a statement.
With a size
just under 10MB, Messenger Lite offers the same basic functions as Messenger,
enabling users to send and receive texts, photos, links, emojis and stickers.
The new app
also has voice calling, active now indicator feature, has the ability to view
and remove group members and add members to groups.
The Messenger
app on Android has nearly 5,000,000,000 downloads and has been rated four out
of five by 46,056,597 users.
