Facebook Lite now supports 56 languages and is most popular in India, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico and Philippines. The app has been rolled out in more than 150 countries through Latin America, Asia, Africa and parts of Europe.
The app has also received new features including support for video playback, multiple photo uploads, pinch-to-zoom for photos, and emojis, apart from reducing app load times by 25 percent.
