After its initial debut (more like life beta-tests) in Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Tunisia and Venezuela, Messenger Lite becomes available in the West. What is Messenger Lite? Well, you know how Messenger is a massive piece of bloatware that clogs your smartphone’s memory like a cigarette clogs your lungs? Lite version of the app is all of the Messenger’s essentials with all the excessive fat cut off. No automated messages, no in-chat games, no photo attachments – just plain old texting.

Sounds good? Hopefully it is. If you are interested, it should by now be downloadable from Google Play Store. App weights just ten megabytes, so it’s a light download.
