The app works similarly to the Original Fb-messenger app. The lack of extra features results in a simpler, less distracting messaging app that doesn’t take much storage space, take less processing power, and all of this, in turn, uses very little internet data. So, leaving those extra features behind reduces a lot of drag and provides a speedy interface when using the messenger on a humble device. Whereas Messenger Lite keeps it all focused on messaging. The standard Messenger app includes extra features like games, stories, extensions, automated messaging from brands, and more. You can easily send text, photos, links, and stickers to anyone on Messenger. With a download size of only 6.9 MB and over 1 billion downloads, this app will go lite on your phone’s memory and internet data plan. The app has core features of the standard Messenger app. Time will tell if it'll stay truly lite.Facebook Messenger Lite is a liter version of the famous Facebook messenger app. The social network points out that Messenger Lite is still considerably smaller than the full version, though, currently weighing in under 10 megabytes as opposed to Messenger's 47. The addition of new, arguably unnecessary functionality present in the full-fat version of the app might worry some users who really want the most basic way possible of staying in touch with their Messenger-using friends, as Facebook has a tendency to cram heaps of features into its apps. Members of chats can be assigned nicknames, too. (On a personal note, Lite's previous inability to send GIFs made the app practically unusable for me, so I'm very glad to see they're supported now.) You can also now choose a color and emoji for each chat, rather than the default blue and thumbs up. The app doesn't have a built-in GIF function, though you'll have to upload them manually or search for them through your keyboard. Users of Messenger Lite could always receive GIFs, but now they can send them, too.
