Facebook Lite is a lightweight version of the standard Facebook app designed to work efficiently on low-end devices and in areas with limited internet connectivity. Launched in 2015, it retains the core functionalities of Facebook while consuming fewer resources, making it a popular choice for users in developing regions or those with older smartphones.
As the app is with the site proper, it's a cluttering mess. They add more features that not a whole lot of folks want but never seem to fix the issues that need to be addressed. I can say more but it's relevant to the site as a whole and not the app. Changing your profile picture to a previous one not only does it, but makes another copy of it instead of just switching. They seem more interested in catching up to Twitter/X instead of caring about their users.
I just love being in the middle of writing a post, and everything just refreshes for no reason. I lose that post completely, and get so frustrated because it's usually on a page I am not following. Also, half of the functions are glitchy or non functioning. Added: also, I went to two FB events that were the incorrect time in the app because it did not show an updated time. I showed up late to the last event thinking it was still at 7, when it had changed to 6:30.
Terrible and a forced updated app to use off of the original platform and feels forced to use it with the Meta. Can't post responses to message with gifs unless you spent about 2 to 3 minutes going through options and deleting after the fact once it's been posted on your story or page. All of the traditional spots for notifications and requests have moved. They still have work to do to make it better. Looks like they are taking away the ease and accessibility from the old app. Not impressed!!!
