Facebook has announced a "Lite" version of its Android Messenger app.
The new bare-bones Messenger app is designed for older phones with less memory and less powerful processors.

The app rolls out today to users in Kenya, Tunisia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Venezuela, before expanding to other markets in coming months.
