Facebook Messenger Lite is a powerful app that enables users to get in free audio and video calls with their friends and family members. Just like the original version of Facebook Messenger, Messenger Lite gives users access to a plethora of features such as emojis for example that have been specially designed to make it easier for them to express themselves through texts.
Facebook Messenger Lite 55.0.1.11.185 APK
Nonetheless, the reason why we are talking about Messenger Lite today is because the developers who are in charge of the app have just released a new update that is targeted for beta testers. The update sports the 55.0.1.11.185 version number and its available in the form of APK.
Since this is an APK (Android Package Kit) update that we are talking about, Messenger Lite beta testers should know that it can only be installed on Android powered devices that have the “Unknown Sources” option enabled. This type of updates are not released OTA (over the air) via the Google Play Store and all interested Messenger Lite beta testers will need to manually download it instead.
Lightweight Update
Considering the fact that Messenger Lite is a lightweight app measuring in at only 10MB, it should come as no surprise that the new APK update is lightweight as well. Therefore, the new update measures in at only a couple of MB and it introduces a handful of important software tweaks. These software tweaks have been designed to enhance the performances of Messenger Lite and they do this by optimizing the software stability.
With that said, Messenger Lite beta testers who decide to manually download and install the new update on their Android powered smartphones will soon find out that the chances of Messenger Lite randomly crashing or lagging are much lower than usual.
