The simpler the better

Messenger Lite is a social and communication app that works just as good as Facebook Messenger. The only difference is that it is lighter in a way that it takes up less storage space and consumes less of your mobile data. It has a simpler interface that still delivers messaging functions efficiently, which is perfect for people who are looking for a more straightforward chat app. 

Messenger on a diet

Facebook Messenger has reached miles when it comes to improving their service by adding other functions in their app that lets you do more than send and receive messages. In fact, it has become an all-around app where you can send documents and files, scan QR codes, and even play games by yourself or with others. There are also customization options like changing chat colors, setting a chat photo, and assigning nicknames to chat members. While these are admittedly impressive features that add enjoyment in using the app, it is also undeniable that most of these additions are unnecessary and that they defeat the purpose of having a messaging app that will not confuse users with its complexity. 

Messenger Lite is free from all the weight that the other extensions and functions carry. Sure, there are users who appreciate the bulk of activities that Facebook Messenger has, but there are also people who prefer a very simple chat app that can deliver the most basic but necessary functions that is expected of it. That is exactly what Messenger Lite is. You can say that it is a slimmed down version of the Facebook Messenger app as it lacks the weight that the original messenger carries. Aside from having fewer distractions in its interface that would not meddle with its basic function, Messenger Lite is, in fact, a lighter file that can be downloaded and used with as little mobile data as possible. 

Getting the job done

There are a lot of extras missing in Messenger Lite but rest assured that they do not make the app any less boring. It does not limit itself strictly to just sending and receiving text messages. Users can still enjoy exchanging emojis and sending multimedia with each other. Save for the lack of customization options and games, Messenger Lite functions just the same as Facebook Messenger. You will continue to receive notifications, be able to check who is online, and create group chats so you can communicate with all of your friends or family members using just one chat box. 

Back to basics

Messenger Lite is very user-friendly and perfect for people who simply want a smooth-sailing chat app that makes communication infinitely easier. There are no additional columns and buttons that would lead to extra functions, which can be confusing especially to those who are not familiar with chat messaging. Messenger Lite’s interface is easy to learn and navigate.
