Twitter Lite was launched earlier this year as a Web app. However now, Twitter is packaging its data-friendly, space-saving Lite mobile web app into a regular app version, starting with Android.
Twitter is currently testing out the Android app only in the Philippines for now, which might lead to a large scale later on.
The Twitter Lite app takes up less space on your device (less than 3MB), and demand less resources, so it can load faster on low-end to mid-range smartphones.
More importantly, the app is made to work under poor network conditions, so it'll have some caching to work offline. It'll also show a preview of images and videos, and will only download media if the user chooses to.
Remember that Facebook launched its low-data version, Facebook Lite on Android two years ago.
By February this year, Facebook Lite already grew its user base to 200 million.
