If the Tinder app takes up too much space on Taste of Future Sister-in-lawyour phone or uses too much data for you, you're in luck. You just need to make sure you also live in Southeast Asia.

The popular dating app will get a stripped-down version called Tinder Lite sometime in the next several weeks via Google Play. It'll come to Vietnam first and roll out to similar markets later, CEO Elie Seidman said at a press conference in Hong Kong on Wednesday, per the Jakarta Post.

Tinder Lite, as its name suggests, is a smaller version of Tinder. It's losing features like the Feed to give users the basic Tinder experience in markets without widely available, fast mobile internet, according to The Verge. It'll take up less space on phones and use much less data.

Other companies like Facebook and Google have already released "lite" versions of some of their apps in emerging markets. Google Go, Facebook Lite, Twitter Lite, and others offer bite-sized versions of the same apps for people who would benefit from such a thing.

Facebook even made its Lite app available in the United States last year. One could argue that Tinder has become bloated with unnecessary features in recent years; maybe a lite version will do the app (and the people who use it) some good.
