Instagram Lite app launched with less features, tiny size

(Web Desk) - Popular social media apps have lite versions which have been designed for markets where internet service is not reliable and or very expensive.

These lite apps such as Facebook Lite, Messenger Lite, and Twitter Lite are also the best option for phones with low resources as they take up less space and require less processing power.

Today, Facebook has announced a new Instagram Lite app, adding to the list of toned-down apps for Android phones. The new Instagram Lite app was announced by Facebook at an event in India today dubbed “Facebook Fuel for India”.

The app which is just under 2MB in file size ditches some features you will find on the main app such as Reels, Shopping, and IGTV for a faster and even cleaner experience.

The original Instagram Lite app was discontinued in May due to some unstated issues. The new app which was listed on the Play Store earlier this month already has about 5 million installs.
