Messenger Lite will be initially available for countries including Kenya, Tunisia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Venezuela. Even the current app suffers from crucial shortcomings such as battery hogging, too many background processes and is in a dying need of optimization itself. Messenger Lite also drops advanced features such as bot integration, video chatting, and chat heads in favor of better performance.įacebook Messenger currently serves more than a Billion people around the world every month and with a lighter medium, the user base is likely to see a spike as it rolls out for everyone. The interface has been kept identical, however, the icon’s colors are inverted (the bolt is now blue with a white chat bubble background). Furthermore, the app sizes merely under 10 MB instead of a hefty 43 MB. This will have a positive effect on phones with limited memory and smaller battery.Messenger Lite retains essential features of the primary app including sending text messages, photos, stickers, and links. Also, during the memory tests, we found, the original using up 300MB of RAM, while the Lite app occupied only 90MB of RAM. It takes up just 22MB of space on your smartphone after installation, while the latter needs 210MB of space. Though you miss out on some of the key features, you can’t ignore the fact that the new app loads a lot faster than the original on slower networks. The menu page looks trimmed down too.In order to enable chat heads for every new message, it uses Messenger as the default messaging app and carry out encrypted chats have been left out too. Users will have to go to the original app to access them. In terms of features, the more resource-intensive ones such as video streaming, games and video calling have been left out completely.
To make a call, you have to go to the contacts page now.
This bar carried shortcut buttons for calling, messaging, gaming and video recording with the option to apply fun filters and add text. Also, the shortcut bar at the bottom of the page in the original Messenger app has been given a miss.
The slide with active users and their photos is above recent messages, while in the original app it shows after the messages. The home page on the Messenger Lite looks slightly different from the original app.
