Messenger Lite was launched yesterday in several countries as a way to help users who have to deal with a day to day slow connection or that at certain times it is even interrupted. This app has arrived with the same objective that Facebook Lite was when a year ago it was published by the company owned by Mark Zuckerberg.
If we announced its arrival yesterday, now we have the APK with which you can install this app that focuses on most basic aspects of Facebook Messenger. This means that if you do not use the chat heads (the floating windows on the screen), the video or the stickers, it is ideal to have it installed on your smartphone, since it does not even exceed 10 MB in its installation.
When the app is not running in the background it takes 10MB RAM and when it is in the background, it is capable of using 41 MB of RAM. With this we can know the real reason for its arrival, since apart from the fact that in those regions where it has been launched (Kenya, Tunisia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Venezuela) they have lower connection speeds, it usually happens that Android smartphones are more than low-end, so they don't have as much internal storage or as much RAM. A fact that prevents an app like Facebook Messenger from being more expensive in features.
The design of the main screen is quite basic and differs from the main one with more details in the design and elements that also get the user involved. You also do not have the option of using SMS messages or private chats, so it remains to send text messages and send images. Forget about emojis, they are not present either.

Reading the "demands" of users on Google Play ... they make you laugh ... If this version is "lite" for computers with little capacity or with slow internet service ... now they require: chat heads (floating windows on the screen) stickers , calls, video, group chat, photo editor, postponed messages, UBER service, private banking and a little more crap, for that; go and Install the "heavy" version of Facebook and go ... (and then start complaining) ... this is basic .. BASIC -A (not understood?) with only what is necessary to chat and send a photo or emoji. .More nothing for now ... you have to see how "demanding and exquisite" we wear in some cases ... maybe later they will put more things on it ... but it would end up being the same as the existing Facebbok Messenger ... then we started complaining again.
