Just a thought.

They already made Lite versions of Facebook and Instagram.

And a lot of the new functions (stories, screen share, and the avatar emojis) only come as bloat for users like me.

So i think they should make an official app that came without those “features”, having a priority on simplicity and data saving.

    Unfortunately, I think they’re moving in the other direction. They just discontinued Messenger Lite, which I used. I think now that people in India and other countries have more powerful phones, they feel less urge to keep the Lite versions available

      But Messenger Lite never made sense because Facebook Lite already had messaging support.

        Many use the messager to stay in contact with people even if they don’t use facebook itself much, especially on phones so it absolutely did if you ask me!

        I personally would greatly prefer to use Messenger via the Facebook mobile webapp, but that’s not an option, to my great chagrin. I wish they’d just let me use their product how I want to, but that’s not The Facebook Way.
