Twitter Lite is the latest and smallest addition to Twitter's official apps. It allows you to connect to the popular social network through an app that takes up significantly less space on your smartphone. It's designed for slower devices and lagging connection speeds.
When you open Twitter Lite, you'll notice it weighs in at just over 0.5MB. This is a significant size reduction compared to the full-sized official Twitter client, which takes up 33MB to 35MB. That's a whopping 70 times fewer MB, which is a huge advantage for smartphones with limited storage space.
Like other 'Lite' versions of apps (Facebook, Skype, LINE, etc.), Twitter Lite is optimized for 2G and 3G networks. It also includes a data-saving feature that limits the automatic download of images and videos.
Despite these improvements and optimizations, Twitter Lite provides the same core features you expect from any Twitter app. You can tweet, read tweets from accounts you follow, send and receive Direct Messages, tweet pictures and videos, create Twitter Lists, edit your profile, and more.
In short, Twitter Lite is a great alternative to the full-fledged official Twitter app. It offers the same excellent user experience but takes up much less space on your smartphone and doesn't use up all your data.
