Twitter Lite: lightweight, fast, connect to the world anytime, anywhere

Twitter Lite is the newest and lightest addition to the official Twitter apps. It lets you connect to the popular social network with an app that takes up less space on your smartphone. Additionally, it is designed specifically for slower network connections and devices.

First, open Twitter Lite and you'll quickly notice that it only weighs 0.5MB. This is a significant reduction compared to its parent app, as the full-size official Twitter client takes up 33MB to 35MB. We are looking at a 70x reduction in MB. Needless to say, this is a considerable amount for a smartphone with less space.

As with the "Lite" versions of other apps (Facebook, Skype, LINE, etc.), one of the most important elements that is easy to notice here is that Twitter Lite is fully compatible with 2G and 3G networks. Additionally, it comes with an additional data saving feature to limit the images and videos it downloads automatically.

In addition to improvements and optimizations, Twitter Lite delivers what you would expect from any Twitter app. You can tweet, read tweets from accounts you follow, send and receive direct messages, tweet images and videos, create Twitter lists, edit your profile, and more.

In short, Twitter Lite is a great alternative client to the full-featured official Twitter app. It delivers the great user experience you've always loved, but with the added benefit of taking up less space on your smartphone and not using up all your data.
