Facebook Lite originally launched in 2015 as a lightweight app aimed at users in countries with slower mobile networks. Fast-forward three years and the app is rolling out to more developed countries.
Facebook Lite is launching today in several more countries, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, the U.K., France, Germany, Ireland, and New Zealand. You can grab the app from the Play Store right here.
As for why the app is now launching in countries like the U.S. and U.K., Facebook said, "We’ve seen that even in some developed markets people can have lower connectivity, so we want to make sure everyone has the option to use this app if they want."
While Facebook Lite is meant for users with slow connections, it could also be a nice app for folks that just want a slimmed down, speedy Facebook experience. That's because the app offers many of the same features as the standard Facebook app, like posting status updates and photos, RSVPing to events, commenting on posts, and following people and businesses.
