Twitter has further evolved its Lite app launched in April into an Android app developed specifically for less capable phones, the company has announced.
The popular microblogging and social media platform has taken its lite app first in the Philippines and brings in a slew of features to the app that can help you save your mobile data, including the ability to disable all images on your feed and uses up to 70% less data with only 1MB of storage on your phone.
“The test of the Twitter Lite app in the Google Play Store in the Philippines is another opportunity to increase the availability of Twitter in this market,” said a Twitter spokesperson tells popular tech portal TechCrunch. “The Philippines market has slow mobile networks and expensive data plans, while mobile devices with limited storage are still very popular there. Twitter Lite helps to overcome these barriers to usage for Twitter in the Philippines.”
The new Twitter Lite for Android is available for devices running Android 5.0 and up; has language support both for English and Filipino; and is usable on 2G and 3G networks. You may download the Android app here or check out an APK file here if you’re currently not in the Philippines.
