Social media apps have long been popular around the world. Applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and more have allowed you to enjoy the experience of these from anywhere in the world. Not only this but since they are available on your mobile devices, you can access them whenever you want.
Even in countries or areas where the internet connection is slow, some of these social media companies have created Lite or data-saving versions and faster.
Facebook and Messenger were one of the pioneers in this field and it really got a good response from users who did not have a good internet connection. However, this did not stop there. Twitter, another big social media company, launched its Lite version in early 2017.
What is Twitter Lite and what are its features?
Like all Lite versions of other apps, Twitter Lite is designed for users who do not find it easy to enter social networks due to the high data consumption that they use.
In fact, this new app works through the browser and weighs no more than 1MB. In addition to this, it loads 30% faster than the original version and saves 70% of data.
Another of its great advantages is that it does not sacrifice any of its design and functions since it continues to have the usual timeline, mentions, notifications, tweets, direct messages, search engine, trends, profiles, file uploads and everything that Twitter normally has.
It also allows you to see a preview of the files before downloading them so that you can decide if you want to download. This is obviously a huge mobile data saver and makes the app lighter.
Getting access to Twitter Lite is very easy. Since this alternative was created in conjunction or collaboration with Google, it is best to use Google Chrome to access.
For this then, open the Google Chrome application from your mobile and enter mobile.twitter.com in the search bar. Once there, enter your data in the section designated for it and you will be in front of the Twitter Lite web interface.
Then, a pop-up screen will appear where you will be offered to add Twitter Lite to the home screen of your cell phone to create a shortcut and thus be able to use it as if it were a conventional app. And voila, you can now enjoy Twitter Lite from your cell phone. You can even use two Twitter accounts on the same mobile if you wish.
What if what you want is to use it from your Windows computer? This is also possible and the procedure is just as simple as the one mentioned above. You just have to follow the steps that you will see below.
