Face-to-face video calls are rapidly being seen as the next best thing to physically “being there”, whether that’s for birthday wishes, catching up, or just having a chat. Now, Facebook is expanding Messenger Lite to also include access to video chats.įacebook says that video calls are subject to growing popularity on the normal Facebook Messenger app, with 17 billion video chats being undertaken throughout the whole of 2017 - twice the number seen in 2016. The app then made its way to the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, and Ireland, available on Android phones from the Google Play Store. “Now people who use Messenger Lite can have the same rich and expressive face-to-face conversations as those who use the core Messenger app, no matter which technology they use or have access to,” Facebook said in a statement late on Wednesday.The app first debuted as a way for those with weak data connections - especially people in developing nations - to still experience Messenger. This update makes Messenger Lite the perfect Facebook Messenger app. And you can also upgrade an audio call to a video chat while still in the call by tapping the video icon in the bottom right corner of the screen, Facebook said.įacebook’s Messenger Lite app for Android is getting video chat, adding the final feature the slimmed-down app needed to become a truly viable replacement for the full-featured Messenger. To use video chats on Messenger Lite, users need to open an existing conversation or find the person they would like to chat with in their contact list, then tap the video icon on the upper right corner of the screen.
And now, Facebook has introduced Video Chat! This slimmed down version of Messenger for Android intended for people with older devices and/or slower Internet connections. It offers core messaging capabilities like sending text, photos, links, and audio calls to people with either Lite Messenger or Messenger.
