In this era characterized by modernity, we all want to march in its wake. Being up to date implies knowing what the trends are not only in terms of clothing or music but also in terms of social networks.
Just a couple of years ago we could not even imagine to what degree we would be in communication with the rest of the world, since we only had access to analog telephony that only allowed us to make calls and, barely, send text messages.
Since we entered the world of digital, our perspectives have completely changed. Now we know that, if we wish, we can make video calls that allow us to be closer than ever with our family and friends anywhere in the world.
From our smartphone we can have access to countless social networks that connect us with whomever we want, even people who are in the entertainment world.
With them we can perform many tasks. For example, some offer you the ability to make calls, send voice notes, send messages with emoticons, and send photos, among many other things.
Many people refrain from using social networks because downloading the application would consume a lot of space in the internal memory of the mobile phone. However, technology, as always, is one step ahead of us. Some applications have been designed that allow you to minimize the space they consume in the storage of your mobile device.
Are you aware of this? Maybe not, until now. Have you heard of Facebook Lite? Surely yes, but perhaps you have wondered how it differs from common Facebook, what is so special about it. Precisely what we are talking about, it consumes less space and is much easier to download.

Tips for installing Facebook Lite
Perhaps until now you had not realized that there is a difference between Facebook and the lite version. So, perhaps you have wondered what one application has that the other does not.
If you are overwhelmed by curiosity, here you can satisfy it. Since we will be talking about some differences between both applications.
For example, the interface is noticeably different. In the case of the lite version, the search icon seems to disappear, but in fact it becomes part of the blue toolbar, located at the top of the screen.
On the other hand, the traditional version of Facebook allows us to see a complete picture of what our friends share on the network. But, in the case of Facebook Lite, they are quite reduced.
This is done in order not to take too long to load. However, if you want to see them in a larger size, you can click on them and solve the problem.
On the other hand, there are also certain differences in the Like and Comment icons. In the Lite version, these are much more minimalist. Now, what about the rest of the app’s icons? They’re also much more modest and less colorful.
At first glance, it seems that the lite version was made before the full version of Facebook. For many, appearance is not the most important thing. But it should be noted that there are also differences in speed when loading images.
Many users complain that it is so slow that it crashes and makes it impossible to continue using it. For that reason they stick with the full version, even though it takes up more storage space and has other downsides.
Of course, it is important to note that you will be the one who decides whether to use the full version of Facebook or the lite version, taking into account all the benefits it brings. It is reasonable to think that not everything can be perfect in this life, there will always be things that we dislike or that we want to improve.
We could try to see how it goes. Overall, the decision is not irreversible. If you notice that you are not doing well with the lite version, you could uninstall it and go back to the traditional one.
Meet Facebook Lite. See how it goes with it and enjoy more storage space on your cell phone.
