Facebook Messenger Lite is the light version of the social network chat application. It is a version created especially for low-end devices, which tend to have less power and less RAM. In this way, this version of the application takes up less space and consumes less resources on the device. But the user enjoys the application.
Sometimes some functions are usually omitted, so that the application is lightweight. But, Facebook Messenger Lite does not stop incorporating new functions. The last one is at least curious. Since the chat application enters the video calls.
This new function is already reaching users who have the application installed. Most likely, you already have it or it will arrive in the next few days. So it will be possible to carry out video calls within the chats in the application.
Video calls can be useful, that cannot be denied, but it is somewhat strange that Facebook Messenger Lite is going to make use of them. Since it is an application designed to take up less space and consume much less resources than a normal application. Therefore, introducing a function such as video calls that consumes a lot, is at least strange.
Facebook has a kind of obsession to introduce similar functions in all its applications. Since you can make video calls on WhatsApp, now on Facebook Messenger Lite and soon also Instagram is going to add to this fashion.
We will have to see how these video calls work in the application. Although on paper it doesn't seem like a very good idea. Since it is likely that the resource consumption of the application will increase significantly while they are used. Their operation is very simple. As you can see in the image, a video call icon now appears at the top right of the chat. What do you think of this function?
