Facebook has announced Facebook Lite, a version of the social network that uses less data and will work on less-robust network connections.
The Facebook Lite app is just 1MB to install, and Facebook claims it loads quickly and offers core features, such as News Feed, status updates, photos, and notifications. Facebook is making Facebook Lite available in Asia first, with Latin America, Africa, and Europe to follow.
Facebook didn’t say if Facebook Lite will ever be made available in North America or the U.S.
