About this app

Keeping up with friends is faster and easier than ever with the Facebook Lite app! Use Facebook Lite as a friends app to connect and keep up with your social network. The Facebook Lite app is small, allowing you to save space on your phone and use Facebook in 2G conditions. Many of the classic features of Facebook are available on the app, such as sharing to a Timeline, liking photos, searching for people, and editing your profile and groups. Specific features include:

• Find friends and family
• Post status updates & use Facebook emoji to help relay what’s going on in your world
• Share photos and your favorite memes
• Get notified when friends like and comment on your posts
• Find local social events, RSVP, and make plans to meet up with friends
• Interact with your friends by adding your own comments or reactions to their Facebook posts
• Save photos by adding them to photo albums
• Follow people to get their latest news
• Look up local businesses to see reviews, operation hours, and pictures
• Buy and sell locally on Facebook Marketplace

The Facebook app does more than help you stay connected with your friends and interests. It's also your personal organizer for storing, saving and sharing photos. It's easy to share photos straight from your Android camera, and you have full control over your photos and privacy settings. You can choose when to keep individual photos private or even set up a secret photo album to control who sees it.

Facebook Lite also helps you keep up with the latest news and current events around the world. Subscribe to your favorite celebrities, brands, websites, artists, or sports teams to follow their News Feeds from the convenience of your Facebook Lite app!

Ratings and reviews

The Lite version of the app is better than the full version. But Facebook itself is so bloated it's practically unusable. The worst part is that notifications seem to be completely broken. I only want notifications from a small, select group of my actual friends and groups that I care about. I can't get notifications for those. Instead I constantly get bombarded with nonsense notifications that I can't even disable properly because they're all mislabeled as Updates from Friends.

This app seriously pisses me off. I can't even begin to count how many times on numerous brands of phones, I have been in the middle of posting a reply to something, and it will just randomly restart, and everything I was about to post is lost. I would use a notepad app to mitigate this, but of course, it also doesn't let you run it in split window, and due to its annoying behavior, if you actually close it and open it up again, you won't have the same feed in front of you either. Grrrr!

The interface is better (cleaner, more visually appealing) than the full Facebook app, but it has issues. One of the biggest is that the "show most relevant first" option can be turned off in settings but the app still only displays a subset of comments, which can make it very frustrating and confusing when there's back and forth dialog in a thread of comments... they are out of order and maybe a third of the conversation is even visible. The post toggle for relevant vs all is missing entirely.
