Facebook introduces Facebook Lite for Android for 2G networks
Facebook is looking to double-down on
smartphones in developing countries and in
doing so, the company has created an app for
its social network that they are calling Facebook
Lite to function particularly well on 2G networks.
Right now, the Facebook Lite app is only available in select countries, all of which
exclude the United States – but is targeting
lower-end Android devices which are common
in countries like Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Sri
Lanka, Vietnam and Zimbabwe. This is really just
a stripped down version of the social networking app that users have come to love
and use frequently with most Android devices
here in the United States.
While, this is only the first version, and the first
release of the Facebook Lite app, it would be expected that this type of application would
also begin finding its way to American devices
as well, since a stripped down version might be
something many individuals find useful.
Ultimately, this first edition features some basic
features like camera integration, push notifications, and even instant messaging. Most-
interestingly though, Facebook including their
messaging feature within the lower-grade app is
definitely something that many users would find
intriguing. Currently, many Facebook users have
voiced concerns and outrage over the fact that Facebook required users to download a
secondary app if they wanted to continue
enjoying Facebook Messenger. However, the
company defended the move noting that with
the specialization that was becoming necessary
and apparent within the messaging system – an upgrade and separation was obviously going to
be necessary.
This though is something that clearly has a
significant interest in Facebook. Last year they
worked with some other tech companies to
launch Internet.org, which is a project that
works to bring the Internet connection to the 5
billion people around the world who don’t have an Internet connection. The project utilizes
satellites, drones, and a few other unmanned
technologies to help bring the Internet to those
individuals who currently do not have access to
a number of reasons, like being in too rural of a
location. All of this clearly indicates the company’s serious interest in making their
product more readily available to those who
currently are either operating on smaller, less
powerful networks – or those who don’t have
networks at all.
