Twitter is rolling out Twitter Lite and will be available in Nepal soon via the Google Store. The Android app will help to save data. Twitter Lite is similar to Facebook Lite and it will minimize the data usage in Nepal where the cost is high.

Twitter so far has 330 million active monthly and the number in Nepal is expected to be below 100k. Twitter is still struggling to earn a profit and its investors are wary about its present situation.

Twitter’s verification process continues to be suspended.
