Let's go over the best "lite" versions of apps and social networks most famous. Just at the time of the arrival of Instagram Lite, the version cut into functions so that users with less powerful mobiles and who cannot access a good connection speed can afford to share all kinds of content on their favorite social networks.
These "lite" versions are essential for millions of users that are in your region with an intermittent and poor quality connection. So like Instagram Lite we have the one for Twitter, Facebook itself or even a reduced version of Google Maps to put aside the large megabytes of the main app. Go for it.
Google Maps Go
We start the list with one of the "lite" apps that recently arrived on the mobile app market. Google Maps Go is the reduced version of the original Maps and really puts us before a web version that uses Chrome to offer almost everything that the main one already gives us.
That is, we have the map with all its elements, although It will load gradually as we explore it, and that side panel in which we find the most popular Maps functions: traffic, public transport, real-time location sharing, your sites and your contributions; not forgetting about settings and more.
Twitter Lite
With Twitter Lite we will have to install the APK, since at the moment not available in our country. An app that takes us back to a web interface so that the use of system resources, both in RAM and space, is the minimum possible.
Twitter Lite puts us before all elements necessary to replicate the experience that gives both the main version and the web version. He even allows himself the luxury of showing us a side panel with an excellent web design in order to distinguish a little from the rest that we have in these lines.
Instagram Lite
Launched today, here you can find out the news, Instagram Lite takes us back to an app that consumes very few resources. Another of the Instagram apps, like the one published days ago on its television channel called IGTV.
We are back in the same with a web app that takes us to all the functions that have made Instagram exceed 1.000 million users worldwide. If you want to clear your phone of heavy apps, you are already taking a while to download the APK.

Facebook Lite
Facebook Lite was a prevailing need for a good number of countries where the main app was too heavy; it is also so even for those of us who have good terminals. The "Lite" version, although not entirely perfect, is a way to lighten the weight of our terminal.
And while the previous two have an interface that is a replica of the main one, Facebook Lite gives us the advantage of access a more optimized version in design. That is, we will have to get used to it to discover where the most important functions are, since all of them have been reduced to focus on the most important of this social network.
Lite Messenger
And if Facebook already weighs in, the same happens with Facebook Messenger. To be able to sigh calmly too we have messenger lite, that we also will deal with those requests on the first screens. It almost becomes an essential app if you don't want your phone to suffer with the original.
Here the interface follows the same as Messenger, so in a matter of seconds you will feel at home and with the lightness that means having a web app with all that it entails in terms of use and consumption experience.
YouTube Go
Finally, we have YouTube Go, which, unlike the others, will ask us for our phone number to confirm that it is us. Once this is done we will find ourselves directly with a very concise interface at all levels. That is, we talk about only we will have at the top the «home» and «Saved». One for the main screen with the recommendations and another with the videos that we have left to watch later.
The best of all is that we can select the quality of the video with the exact amount of megabytes we will consume. In the screenshot you can see how we can choose between the basic quality with 4,2MB and the standard one that brings us to 34,2MB.
All the best "lite" versions of these well-known apps that allow us to save battery, resource consumption, lighten the weight in storage and that our mobile does not suffer so much. Especially with the heats of summer.
