    Facebook launched Facebook Messenger Lite for Android in the U.S. this week. Facebook Messenger Lite originally made its debut in emerging smartphone markets where data networks are slower than what's offered by most U.S. carriers. The Lite version, however, measures just 10MB in size — which means it won't take up too much storage on your phone — and is watered-down as to not hog data each month. If your kids are constantly going over their data limits, you might want to think about installing the new version. It still offers plenty of features, such as the ability to chat with groups of friends, and send photos and videos.

‘Despacito’ is the new most-watched YouTube video ever with more than 3 billion views

By
Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito ft. Daddy Yankee” is not only the
most-streamed song of all time, it also is the most-watched YouTube
video ever, surpassing more than 3 billion views on the Alphabet-owned
video site.

The previously most-watched video, Wiz Khalifa’s “See
You Again” held the crown for just over three weeks, though Despacito’s
reign will likely be much
longer given just how quickly it has managed to dominate the service.

The Spanish-language music video has managed to rack up this
mind-boggling amount of views in less than seven months, much quicker
than the 26 months it took Wiz Khalifa’s song to overtake Psy’s “Gangnam
Style.” Since its release on January 12, it has been watched nearly 15
million times every day, or 170 times per second. A remixed version of
“Despacito” featuring Justin Bieber has nearly 500 million views as
well.

The significance of the top video of all-time being
Spanish-language
shows just how global YouTube’s reach has managed to become. YouTube
announced this summer that it has more than 1.5 billion monthly
logged-in users watching an average of one hour per day of mobile video.
