 "Facebook Lite makes debut in Asia")
Facebook today released a 'Lite' version of its application that was tailored for people using Android smartphones in places where wireless data bandwidth is scarce.
Facebook Lite was built to use less data and work well despite potentially constrained telecommunications network conditions in developing countries, according to the California-based online social network.
Facebook began rolling Lite out in Asia and said that the application will be available in part of Europe, Africa, and Latin America in coming weeks.
"Facebook Lite was built for these situations, giving people a reliable Facebook experience when bandwidth is at a minimum," it added.
