The micro-blogging platform has made its data-friendly Twitter Lite
Android app available in 21 more countries, including India, which can
be downloaded from Google Play Store.
Built for 2G and 3G
networks which are still in use in several parts of India, Twitter Lite
has an install size of 3MB, saves data and space and loads quickly on
unreliable networks.
"While using the app on 2G or 3G, you'll
notice that content will load quickly on Twitter Lite. We want to make
sure you can see what's happening no matter what network you're on,"
Twitter said in a statement late on Monday.
Twitter Lite is now available in the Google Play Store in more than 45 countries.
After
a successful trial in the Philippines, Twitter rolled out the
data-friendly Lite Android app in 24 countries in December 2017.
By enabling data saver mode, users can control which images and videos load on their phones.
"You
can still load all the content at any time by hitting 'Load image' or
'Load video', helping you save money and data in real time," said
Twitter.
The "Bookmarks" feature allows users to save important Tweets for later.
"Twitter
Lite supports push notifications, allowing you to keep up with what's
happening around the world," said the micro-blogging platform that
currently has 335 million users.
The night mode feature gives timeline a darker theme -- easier on eyes and to read even during the day.
"Threaded
Tweets are now available on Twitter Lite. We've made it easy to create a
thread by adding a plus button in the composer, so you can connect your
thoughts and publish your threaded Tweets all at the same time," said
the statement.
Twitter in July reported a drop of one million
users in the second quarter of 2018 -- with monthly active user count
going down from 336 million in the last quarter to 335 million.
The
micro-blogging platform, while releasing second quarter earnings,
reported $711 million in revenue -- an increase of 24 per cent
year-over-year.
