    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 Facebook Messenger Lite originally made its debut in emerging smartphone markets where data networks are slower than what's offered by most U.S. carriers.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.
