Messenger lit!

I was never really a fan of facebook sites and apps. I hate the Facebook App for Android and loathe the Messenger App.
Messenger is Facebook's flagship messaging App. And Facebook has been continuously adding bloat to the App in order to persuade you to switch. It even bought Whatsapp!
But, that is all about to change, for the first time I am shockingly finding an App by Facebook to be good!
Messenger lite ticks all the box, which a messaging app should consist of. Messenger lite strips the Messenger App of all of its extensions and bots and scannable barcodes and games. It forgoes all those bloats for a feature which should have been on messenger since day one!
I am forced to use Messenger, well because everyone who is anyone uses it. So when the lite app was launched, I patiently waited for the App. And when it was finally made available in my country, I was one of the first adopters!
I have never looked back since then, I have stated that it focuses on one feature which is essential and that feature is a good messaging experience, it removes all the distractions and allows you to concentrate only on the person you are talking to.
This App is proof that companies are overthinking the messaging apps and are adding too much bloat! I mean lite only takes about one-tenth of the storage, which the main app consumes and still provides all the features you really need. I can still use emojis and share photos and videos and even make voice calls, as of recent updates to the app, and lets me send text in groups.
What it doesn't do is consume battery like and resources and does not takes up half of your phone's storage! In fact, it is soo good, that I might even ditch WhatsApp for it. WhatsApp is another Facebook app to which it continues to add bloat!
In short Messenger lite is not the slim version of Messenger for the data conscious, it should be the default Messenger App from Facebook!

Utorrent and its identical client BitTorrent are the most popular app to download torrent files onto your PC! Both are available for free, however, the free version can get annoying to have large ads occupying portions of your screen.

Flagships no longer required?

The last time I used a flagship phone, was way back in 2013 and it was the Galaxy S4. The Exynos variant to be exact, back in 2013 Exynos was not cool. It was miles behind its Snapdragon counterpart and it was visible. My experience with the S4 was horrible. So horrible, that in fact, I haven't had the courage to purchase another Flagship since then on. After that, I switched boat and jumped to the WindowsPhone clad. My first taste of WindowsPhone was from a Lumia 520. The cheapest WindowsPhone! But, the performance at times was better than my less than a year old flagship Galaxy. WindowsPhone was fluid even on extreme budget hardware. Later on, I upgraded to a Lumia 730, which to date I adore. It is for me the best phone ever! The only place where it lacked would be the storage. Then I jumped shipped again to Android and am now using a Redmi 4x. So the point behind me going through my phone purchasing history is to show, that you do not need to break the bank or sel...
