NEW YORK: The social networking site, Facebook has launched a simplified version called “Facebook Lite” for low-end Android devices used by customers in emerging markets.
It is just 252 KB in size and can be used by those on 2G internet connections. The app is based on Snaptu, Facebook’s feature phone client.
It includes some native Android features such as push notifications and camera integration to make the experience a more sophisticated one.
The app has been launched in some countries in Asia and Africa, where it is being testing with a view to further expanding its features.
