Facebook Introduces ‘Facebook Lite’ App For Emerging Markets

BY YASMEEN ABUTALEB

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Facebook Inc rolled out a new Android app for its social media service on Thursday that uses less data and runs faster in regions with spotty connections.

The app, called Facebook Lite, is available in countries across Asia and will soon make its way to parts of Latin America, Africa and Europe, Vijay Shankar, product manager for Facebook Lite, said in an interview. In many of those countries, people still use 2G networks, which are much slower and have less power than the 4G networks in many developed nations.

“We want to offer people a choice so if there are limitations, they can still get the full Facebook experience,” Shankar said.

The app uses less than one-half of a megabyte of data to limit data usage and rates for those in emerging markets. While it still supports Facebook’s News Feed, status updates, notifications and photos, it does not support videos and advanced location services.

Facebook Lite is part of the world’s largest social media network’s expansion into emerging markets. Earlier this year, Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg announcedInternet.org, a platform developed with six technology partners to connect 4.5 billion people with no current access to the Internet.

Facebook Lite App Launched to Tap Emerging Markets

facebook lite has launched a stripped-down version of its app aimed at the huge potential user base in emerging markets.The social media giant confirmed to CNBC that it was testing the Android app in January, and was now rolling it out across countries in Asia, followed by parts of Latin America, Africa and Europe.Facebook Lite takes less than 1 megabyte of storage space on a phone -- substantially less than the standard app, which uses up around 25MB of storage.The new app is designed to load quickly in areas with slow mobile internet connection.Users will be able to do simple tasks such as post status updates and pictures, get notifications and scroll through their newsfeed. Viewing video will not be possible, however, as it requires too much data.

The move comes amid a continued push by Facebook into the emerging markets, highlighted by its , which gives users in certain countries access to some mobile services for free.

The mobile user base in emerging markets is growing fast, particularly in the smartphone space where a number of low-cost devices have been launched.

Almost 80 percent of smartphone subscriptions added between 2015 and 2020 will be from Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, according to Ericsson.

Facebook already has a high user base in some emerging markets -- Indonesia, for instance, is currently the third-largest market for mobile Facebook users worldwide.

Meanwhile, by the end of 2016 India is expected to surpass the U.S. as having the largest population of mobile phone Facebook users, according to research by eMarketer
