It is very frustrating and annoying to be waiting for minutes just for facebook app to load timeline updates or to view pictures. The worst case is when one is in a hurry to do another thing, and bad network keeps hanging the messages both sent and received messages.
The normal facebook app is very heavy and consumes too much data and phone memory Most phones running on 512MB RAM and below cannot use facebook app smoothly and it drains battery and affects total performance of the phone.
However, if you are trying to conserve internet data usage assuming you have limited data remaining in your phone, i will advice you to start using facebook lite app. The app size is not up to 1mb so it won't take much of your free memory space unlike the normal facebook app that is about 20MB in size. Facebook lite is very fast and its best choice for people staying where there is no strong internet network or no 3g network at all. It was built to compress the facebook data to its minimum while retaining most of the feactures of facebook. with facebook lite, you can chat, upload pictures, update your profile, write new updates, tag and untag friends, create
facebook pages and groups, use facebook apps and many more exciting things that facebook has to offer.
Why You Should Consider Using Facebook Lite
1. Facebook Lite uses much less data unlike the normal Facebook app which requires hugedata to run smoothly. If you have no access to enough data, then the Facebook Lite app is for you
