The app offers a simplified interface compared to the full Facebook Messenger, and its efficiency can help with battery life and performance even if you have a flagship device. While mainly targeted at people that live in areas with slow and spotty bandwidth, Messenger Lite still has a few benefits that anyone would enjoy. Finally, the app is now available for download in the US.
