While many tricks can be used to reduce memory consumption and speed up Android, there is now a way to do it in a much better way, thanks to the Lite (light) applications, which are special versions of the most popular apps, released in recent years for emerging markets.
Since not everyone has the latest Samsung Galaxy or OnePlus, even for Italians with a medium-low level smartphone or a little dated anyway, the existence of these "Lite" applications, lighter than those, really becomes a salvation standards, which take up less memory space, consume less energy and battery and also save internet connection data.
To be clear, you can therefore replace applications used by everyone such as Facebook and Youtube with official Lite versions, which preserve the most important functions and remain light on the memory.
What are the "Lite" apps "> download the APK file of the apps from alternative sites such as APKMirror, legitimate and reliable.
The best Lite version apps to replace applications that we have certainly installed on our smartphone are:
1) Facebook Lite
Facebook is one of the largest and slowest apps that we have on our smartphones, replacing it with the lite version, therefore, is almost a must for all those who have a medium-low level mobile phone or older than 2 years. I have personally used Facebook Lite instead of the regular app on my phone for some time, without suffering any shortage. The main difference between Lite and normal Facebook is the less accurate graphics and the fact that the transition from one screen to another is more snappy and less fluid.
For the rest, you can do everything except things like live video broadcasting, which is definitely not for everyone.
Facebook Lite is also available on the Google Play store for Italy.
2) Facebook Messenger Lite
This application is also perfect for those who want to have Facebook chat on their mobile phone without having to install the heavy and large app that is Facebook Messenger. In this lite version, almost all the most particular Messenger features are missing, such as video chat and SMS integration, but it is fine for sending and receiving messages from Facebook friends and also works for making calls.
Messenger Lite is a fifth of the size of the Messenger application, it consumes less battery and very little background memory.
Messenger Lite can also be downloaded from Italy using the Google Play Store.
3) Skype Lite
The Lite version of Skype is an excellent opportunity to get back connected to this chat which with the advent of Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger has become a bit heavy to hold. Having too many messaging applications installed that must remain active in the background all the time, in fact, causes significant memory consumption and also a decrease in battery life.
By installing Skype Lite you can therefore stay connected to the Skype network to send and receive messages and phone calls and also video calls.
Skype Lite is on the Google Play Store also available from Italy.
4) Twitter Lite
Twitter Lite is the best lite application on this list if you look at the differences with the bigger counterpart, because it lacks almost nothing. It is essentially a compressed version of the mobile website of Twitter, thus becoming a client for accessing extremely light Twitter, which offers practically everything you need, including push notifications.
Twitter Lite cannot be downloaded from Italy from the Google Play Store, but must instead be downloaded as APK from APKMirror.
5) Youtube GO
Youtube Go is the Lite version of the Youtube app, very advantageous for those who want to watch videos while saving data connection bandwidth.
Youtube Go is super fast and light, with some of the features of the normal app included and the ability to choose the quality level for each video that opens. Youtube Go would also allow downloading videos, but this is a function that remains disabled in Italy.
To install Youtube Go (which is not available for Italy on the Google Play Store) it is necessary to download the APK file from the phone from APKMirror.
6) Google Go
Google Go is the app to replace the Google app and have Google search on the Android phone including the Discover function and voice assistant, which also integrates the reading of the sites and the data saving mode.
7) Maps Go
Google Maps Go is the light version of Google Maps, useful for quickly searching and checking traffic.
8) Gmail Go
Gmail Go is the lite or light application of Gmail, theoretically reserved for low-end smartphones with the Android Go operating system, but available for download on any device by downloading the latest version from the APKMirror website.
Gmail Go works really well, is light and does not lack any of the functionality of the normal Gmail app, thus remaining an alternative for everyone.
9) Gallery Go is the light version of Google Photos, perfect for viewing photos of the Gallery quickly and available on the Google Play Store for all Android smartphones.
Personally, on my smartphone older than 3 years I use the Lite versions of Facebook, Messenger, Twitter, Skype and also Youtube and Gallery Go with satisfaction.
I remain unfavorable on the use of Google Go, because the Google Feed of the normal Google app, after all, works well, while Gmail Go and Maps Go are two excellent lite applications.
For other apps, however, we can try to replace them with the "mobile" versions of the respective websites.
For example, Instagram has an excellent website displayed on a mobile phone.
You can therefore use a light Launcher like CPL Launcher and a light browser like Puffin to have even more speed and lightness on the phone.
