Facebook is currently testing a version of its slimmed-down Facebook Lite for iPhone. The app has previously only been available for Android.
Designed for people who want to minimize data usage, Facebook Lite helps in a couple of ways …
First, the app itself is just 5MB, using less data to download, and using less storage capacity on the device. (The difference is not, however, as great as Business Insider suggests: the 500MB they claim for the main app is a result of an App Store bug that saw the wrong app sizes reported.)
Once downloaded, Facebook Lite for iPhone is designed to use significantly less data, and consume less power. It is primarily intended for emerging markets where data is expensive relative to average in incomes.
