Facebook Simpler App for Emerging Markets Called 'Facebook Lite'

"Facebook Lite" as name suggests that it is light weighted version of Fb Android App. This App occupies 0.25MB or 252KB, rather than 27 MB+ that the main app usually take up, so if you're on an older device, a slower network, or just don't want all the extra junk, Facebook Lite is probably exactly what you were looking for in your smartphone.
Facebook Lite is currently a limited rollout: It's only available in Nepal, Nigeria, Bangladesh, South Africa, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Zimbabwe. The app's already seen decent adoption numbers with over 10,000 downloads and an average 4.6 rating on Google Play, according to TechCrunch.

Facebook also launched its internet.org initiative last year. Facebook's mission Internet.org is a global partnership between technology leaders, nonprofits, local communities and experts who are working together to bring the internet to the two thirds of the world’s population that doesn’t have it.
