Facebook Lite users will now have all these features onboard as well.Facebook has announced that these tools will be available on Facebook Lite in more than 100 countries, TechCrunch has reported.Till now the crisis tool was only available on the primary app, and Facebook Lite users could only use Safety Check but not the tools to find food, shelter or transportation after a disaster.Facebook Lite app is aimed at users who live in areas with limited internet, slower networks or lower-end devices to access Facebook. It uses less data and loads quickly while still offering many of the core features that Facebook users want.
