With the launch of Facebook lite for the regions having slow internet connection they have encouraged users to use their own app to use Facebook. They are also forcing users to use the Messenger, so they are rolling out the lite version of Messenger on emerging markets.
The Messenger lite is less then 10MB, so it will be fast. It provides core experiences such as messaging, sending and receiving photos and links, and receiving stickers.
