There is a new trend lightweight applications for Android devices. A handful of major social networking and communications apps are releasing stripped down, humble versions of their now bloated apps.
These apps are ridiculously lightweight, sometimes weighing less than 1 megabyte. They are also designed not to take up as much bandwidth.
And because they aren’t packed with overly broad features, they don’t take up as much space. and run faster (especially on older or cheaper devices).
Why is it good
These applications were created for emerging markets, but not all of them are geographically restricted. Even if they are, you can still install the protected APK file by APK Mirror. And I think they can be useful for all of us, even if you’re on an unlimited data plan and using the latest Android flagship phone.
We’ve been complaining about bloated, badly coded, CPU-intensive and resource-hungry apps like Facebook and Messenger for a long time now — and these Lite apps can help. All the important, essential features are right here. But more importantly, bloat (like Facebook Stories in the Facebook app) isn’t.
1. Facebook Lite
The Facebook app is known to resource and battery life on Android. The only alternative was to use Facebook on a mobile browser or a third party app like Metal. Facebook Lite is a good alternative designed specifically for budget phones and Android regions where data is not shared, like Niagara Falls.
When it comes to basic features, the app very close to a full-fledged Facebook application (and, in some ways, better). In a way, it’s a web shell, but with useful features. There is support for notifications, video playback, support for reactions, and even messaging.

2.Messenger Lite
The main reason why you should use Messenger Lite is because Messenger Day does not have a » here, or a new dynamic layout. Everything is simple. Just a reverse chronological list of your chats and basic messaging features.
The app is fast to use and uses less data. You can still send images to chat, but other features such as stickers, GIF search, and others are not available. Chat title support is not supported too.

3.Skype Lite
Skype has a notorious reputation for being unreliable. But Skype Lite works well even on low bandwidth networks (2G networks). The app supports both voice and video calls. video calls. video calls. and it weighs only 13 MB.
Skype Lite is currently only officially available in India.
