Facebook launches Instagram Lite in 170 countries
Facebook on Wednesday said it was launching a “lite” version of Instagram in 170 countries.
This will enable people with poor internet to access the social networking service.
Instagram Lite will be available for Android-based phones and require less bandwidth than the traditional version.
The app requires 2 megabytes (MB) — versus 30 MB for Instagram — and runs on slower 2G networks, allowing customers in parts of India, Africa, Asia and Latin America with older internet infrastructure to access the service.
