Face-to-face video calls are rapidly being seen as the next best thing to physically “being there”, whether that’s for birthday wishes, catching up, or just having a chat.

Now, Facebook is expanding Messenger Lite to also include access to video chats.įacebook says that video calls are subject to growing popularity on the normal Facebook Messenger app, with 17 billion video chats being undertaken throughout the whole of 2017 - twice the number seen in 2016. The app then made its way to the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, and Ireland, available on Android phones from the Google Play Store. The app first debuted as a way for those with weak data connections - especially people in developing nations - to still experience Messenger.
