Facebook has just released a new update (38.0.0.3.70 beta) for its lighter variant of Facebook app on the android platform. As obvious from the “beta” tag, the latest update is targetted to beta testers of the Facebook Lite in the play store.
Facebook Lite, as the name suggest is both lighter in install and storage size. The app uses minimal of resources for optimal experience without taking much of a space on your smartphone. It consumes less mobile or WiFi data in comparison to the Facebook regular app, and can even work fine on slower 2G networks. Facebook Lite is supported on almost all smartphones with Android 2.3 and above.
