The average speed of Indian’s internet connection is just about 2Mbps and it is placed 21st speed of the world’s fastest internet connectivity countries survey. The true fact of India is that, apart from certain developed or industrial areas, most of the remote locations are still lying on the 2G mobile networks. In this case, most of the apps would definitely fail to give you its actual performance with high speed internet connections. This is the same case with several social giant apps, like Facebook and Twitter. Just in order to make the Facebook users get impressive experience even under the poor internet connectivity areas i.e. in 2G networks, Facebook launched “Facebook Lite”, which is an exclusive app for slower speed internet users across the world.

Vijay Shankar, the production manager of Facebook Lite stated that, most of the developed nations are experiencing the 4G data, while some of the above mentioned citizens are still relying on the 2G data. This comparatively makes a huge difference to the experience of Facebook among the users. In order to make Facebook to work better even at poor internet connectivity & remote locations, Facebook Lite is developed and launched.
Limitations and Experience of Facebook Lite:
This new Facebook Lite app certainly uses less than 512Kb data for its actual usages in like getting the News feed, Notifications, Status Updates and Photos as well.

The User Interface of this app is quite similar to that of high speed or original Facebook for Android app. Only changes are the designs of the icons followed by larger sized fonts. Even here, the images take a long time to load, as it needs to convert the original images to the mobile version’s resolution indeed.
