The developers who are in charge of Facebook Lite decided to celebrate April Fools Day not by making a joke and by releasing a new update for beta testers. The update changes Facebook Lite’s build number to 140.0.0.9.99 and it can only be installed by beta testers who use Android powered smartphones that have the “Unknown Sources” option enabled. Nonetheless, today we are going to take a closer look at the changes that Facebook Lite’s latest update brings.
Facebook Lite 140.0.0.9.99 Beta APK
Facebook Lite users who are enrolled in the beta program should be happy to know that a brand-new update arrived yesterday. No, this is not an April Fools Day gag! The update is being rolled out via OTA (over the air) channels to Facebook Lite users who have installed previous versions of Facebook Lite APK and it should arrive any minute now.
If there are any Facebook Lite users who want to become beta testers and access all the latest features and software tweaks ahead of everyone else, then they should know that they are required to manually install the new Facebook Lite 140.0.0.9.99 APK.
The update can be found at multiple APK providers and the trick to installing this type of updates is to enable the “Unknown Sources” option which can be found under the “Privacy” panel of all Android powered devices.
Improvements for Reliability and Speed
The reason why Facebook Lite beta testers need to download the new update as soon as possible is that the update introduces a handful of software tweaks that bring improvements for reliability and speed. While software tweaks might not be as exciting as new features or UI (user interface) changes, we have to let all Facebook Lite beta testers know that software tweaks are equally, if not more important than new features.
