The Egyptian Gazette Published in The Egyptian Gazette on 14 - 08 - 2018

SAN FRANCISCO, August 14, 2018 (News Wires) - A year after its launch, Twitter Lite is now available for Android users in a total of 45 countries.
Twitter Lite was rolled out last year to provide a faster, data-friendly version of the app to those connected to slower 2G or 3G networks.
Twitter began testing the Lite app in the Philippines in September, and then expanded to 24 more countries by November. Now it's broadening its availability to 21 more countries.
Twitter announced that the app will be available in the Google Play Store for anyone in the following 45 countries: Algeria, Argentina, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Ghana,Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Romania, Serbia, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela, Yemen, and Zimbabwe.
Twitter Lite is aimed at those faced with expensive data plans, slow mobile networks or little storage space on their device.
Designed to launch 30 per cent faster, the app also offers key features - timeline, tweets, direct messages, trends, profiles, media uploads, notifications - with quicker navigation.
While smartphone adoption grew to 3.8 billion connections by the end of 2016, a vast number of smartphone users still rely on 2G - 40 per cent of connections in 2017, according to the latest report from GSMA.
