With around 6.5 billion people living in developing economies, there’s a lot of potential for technology firms to tap — but they need to take a different approach.

In India and Southeast Asia, TikTok Lite is the fifth most popular “lite” app, and is targeted at “first time smartphone users who may not have access to high-speed internet connection,” said a spokesman.
