These lighter models have become known on the internet as Lite versions. They are responsible for compressing some information from the main applications, so they take up little space on your phone.
There are some features that are not available in Lite format apps; however, the space savings pay off. On devices with an Android operating system, it can go up to 88% on the smartphone.
In its original format, it has 51 MB. On Lite, only 2MB of storage is used. The layout is similar to the original, but some features, such as stories, are more limited. Not being able to use filters is one of the restrictions.
From 47MB to 2MB, it won’t let you record stories with filters, create lives or reels. Instagram’s other tools, like posting photos and videos, are normal.
Only 10 MB will be occupied on your mobile. Of course, some standard TikTok features aren’t available in Lite either. This is the case of the “now” tool, of stories and lives.
In the Lite version, it only takes 263kB. The conversations, communities, spaces, and wheel features remain the same, but the night mode doesn’t work. Also, only one account can be used on Twitter Lite.
Spotify is known for being heavy. In the Lite version, it only has 9MB versus 31MB of storage for the standard app. The layout is simpler and less content is available on the home screen and magnifier. Music playback quality also becomes simpler.
The mobility app is also famous for its 105MB heavy version. The Lite format weighs only 12MB, however Uber Flash and Cornershop features are not available.
Messenger Lite takes up only 15 MB of your smartphone’s internal memory. Stories features and other shortcuts are not available in the more compact version of the app. You have to consider the pros and cons.
