Like Facebook Lite, Messenger Lite is a very light app just as its name suggests, it is about 10MB, while messenger otherwise occupy 40MB. Both Facebook Lite and Messenger Lite are not available to iPhone users.
Messenger Lite is just the same as the usual one, just that Lite is a much lighter version, occupies lesser space and is meant for slower internet connections. In the foreground to the user, it doesn’t make much of a difference except that it goes easy on your phone. Sending and receding of texts, photos, videos, emojis and stickers would all remain the same.
