Facebook Lite comes to Canada and other developed countries

Facebook recently brought its data-friendly app to markets where solid wireless networks already exist. Facebook Lite was first introduced in 2015 in territories where wireless carriers didn’t provide reliable or fast network connectivity. And that’s mainly the reason why Facebook decided to launch it even in developed countries. In a statement sent to Reuters, Facebook says that even in developed countries like Canada, there are some smartphone owners that experience lower connectivity in their areas. Some of the other countries that get access to the lite version of Facebook include the US, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Ireland, and New Zealand.

Facebook Lite’s file size is less than 1MB, making it easier to download even when using a slow mobile connection. But the app itself still has the main Facebook features like News Feed, status updates, photos, notifications, and other options.
