Just a thought.

They already made Lite versions of Facebook and Instagram.

And a lot of the new functions (stories, screen share, and the avatar emojis) only come as bloat for users like me.

So i think they should make an official app that came without those “features”, having a priority on simplicity and data saving.

    You’re right, they should make a Lite version. There is a version that could be said to be Lite, but it is only for a system called KaiOS.

      theoretically that version could just work on other OSes since KaiOS apps are all PWA

          I wouldn’t call it a fumble, it seems pretty successful in its target demographic

      I am still stunned that ages after Mozilla dropped their Firefox web OS stuff the third biggest phone OS (Kai) is still based on it’s remainings!

        Well, Firefox was born out of Netscape’s remains so… history repeats itself.

          There was a time when Mozilla was serious about competing rather than just surviving and it makes me a little sad that they droped basically all of that, Google still pays them a ton of money so it’s basically just greed that got them here! :(
