When Facebook Lite appeared in 2015 we couldn't imagine the waves it would make over time. The light version of the Facebook app has become indispensable for people who have weak connections – or simply don't want to eat up all their memory with the gigantic original Facebook app. Amazingly, it's now reached 200 million users, and this achievement is being celebrated with improvements to the app's performance.

The app often uses words instead of symbols for common actions, which sometimes results in text disappearing off the top or the side of the page.
