I have never heard of Facebook Lite in my life. I know of Facebook, Facebook Mobile, Facebook Messenger and Facebook Web. I had never heard of GBWhatsapp if not for being a member here. You Nairalanders with una poverty mentality always use the cheapest and buggiest of options. This is the only place in my life I know of people patronizing Freebasics. Tufia!

In as much I don't want to believe you but do you know GBwhatsapp has millions of user worldwide. Check their Twitter handle and telegram group and you gonna understand. So it's not only in here people sort for apps like that. I've used the Facebook lite before when I was in school all because it takes requires lesser data usage, lesser space consumption but that was then.

Warning to Facebook Lite Users.

I want to post this to spoil the bad market of Scammers and Yahoo Fraudsters who hijack people's Facebook accounts

The screenshots were personally made by me from my account and it was what I experienced this morning.

There seems to be a Háck or bug going on right now and i felt you all should know.

While using your Facebook Lite app, and suddenly you see a popup message that suddenly appears over the app and says "Update your app" You are using an unsupported version of Facebook Lite and a blue button that says "Upgrade Now"....PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ON IT OR TRY TO DOWNLOAD ANY FILE THAT COMES FROM IT.

It looks so real because you'll see it clearly written that it comes from "Meta" from Facebook but It is a malware (virus) and downloading or trying to update using that prompt means you will lose total access and control of your account.

I saw it and simply used my intuition to rather go directly to the Google Playstore to update the Lite App and after doing that, it was still showing and wouldn't let me make use of Facebook.

What should you do when it happens?

Simply uninstall the Facebook Lite application from your device for the moment and switch to the main Facebook app.

It seems it is only Facebook Lite that the malware is targeting for now.

Don't fall victim!


I need to ask. Are you tech Savy? Your post didn't say anything that suggest someone wants to hack an account. It is not enough

What you stated is a common occurrencewhen deploying apps on playstore. Have you tried updating gokada? Mtn app?

This isn't hacking or whatever.. Facebook lite was updated, it is a beta version so it came with a bug, which is the pop up that keeps telling you to update your app.. It has been fixed..

It happened to me too and after I updated Facebook lite directly from playstore, I discovered it was still giving me the fake alert then I knew something was fishy, so I just ignored.

I just logged into Facebook lite now and everything seems to be back to normal. are your updates and uploads still there cos mine has cleared
