Facebook unveils new messaging platform that lets users send and receive messages without having to leave the app

Facebook has unveiled a new messaging platform that lets users send and receive messages without having to leave the app. The new platform, called Messenger Lite, is available as a standalone app on Android and iOS devices and opens up Facebook to a whole new audience of users. Messenger Lite is limited in features and does not offer the same functionality as the full Facebook messaging platform, but it is aimed at people who only use the app for messaging. Facebook has also announced that it is teaming up with messaging app Kik to bring the new platform to their users.
