Facebook Lite squeezes the full Facebook experience into an app under 2 MB that runs on any Android phone and any network — 2G included. It uses dramatically less data and RAM, making it the default choice for entry-level devices.
Key features
- A fraction of the size of the full app — installs on any phone
- Uses far less mobile data
- Runs smoothly on 1 GB-RAM devices
- Same core features, lighter interface

How do I install Facebook Lite without the Play Store?
Download the APK using the button above, allow installs from your browser when Android asks (Settings → Install unknown apps), then open the downloaded file. Our step-by-step guide above covers the Play Protect prompt too.
What is the Facebook Lite package name?
The Android application ID is com.facebook.lite. Check it after installing (Settings → Apps) to confirm you got the genuine app.
How much data does Facebook Lite save?
Lite apps are built for entry-level phones and expensive data plans: a much smaller download, lower RAM use, and significantly less mobile data than the full version.
