Facebook has announced that it is rolling out a stripped down version of the social media platform for users with limited internet connections.
Facebook Lite, presently available in over 100 countries, was launched in 2015 targeting developing markets.
The new rollout will now be available to users in more countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Ireland, and New Zealand.

“We’ve seen that even in some developed markets people can have lower connectivity, so we want to make sure everyone has the option to use this app if they want,” the company said.
The app will be available for download from Thursday.
