Imagine you have to buy a piece of furniture online. Most online retailers such as Pepperfry would want you to download the app and order. Once the order is done, the app is just lying in your phone without any regular use. Then you want to download an app which you want but have run out of space on your phone. You will then hunt for the apps not being used and uninstall them in order to accommodate for space on your phone. Now, Google is set to introduce Google Instant Apps which mean that without downloading the entire app, you can access all the features.
How Google Instant Apps Work?
The Google Instant Apps enables a user to download a portion of the app which is needed for basic functionality. After this, the app would take you to a webpage of the app which is certainly faster than downloading the whole app. In case your friend has sent you an app link through any of the messaging tools, in the conventional method, you would have to download it completely before watching, say, a Buzzfeed video. What Instant Apps would do is nullify the waiting and the multiple taps that you input in order to access just one video. This functionality would take you directly to the webpage and furthermore, to the video that your friend shared. If you want to follow that channel or download that app being completely aware that you would regularly use it, you can do so.

Most of us upgrade phones when we run out of space on it. There are expandable storage options, but, they too work only to an extent. Google Instant Apps would not just speed up your phone by not installing a plethora of apps and accessing the same interface without the hassle or repeated taps.But, Here Are The Challenges, Or Is It Really?

2 days agoThe future of Instant Apps is not just faster, but, most versatile. Google have gone to the lengths of offering this experience to users who are still on the Android Jellybean update. That means a massive chunk of users would be able to avail the benefit of Google Instant Apps.
However, there may be risks with regard to security as this data could be tracked. That said, Google claims that data exchange would be absolutely safe and internet security right from paying for certain Instant Apps would be secure. No Instant App will enable Android Pay without the user’s permission.
How Much Effort Would Developers Have To Make?
It would all depend on the integration of the app on the Instant App functionality and how big the app is. For smaller or low capacity apps, however, building an Instant App functionality would not take more than a day, according to the company.
In fact, the process would be easy for developers as they can use Android Studio for developing the Instant App interface. For larger apps or for apps that require a whole lot of data, this process would take longer. It all depends on the developer and what he wishes to keep on the Instant App interface.
What About iOS Devices?
For iOS users, this feature would obviously not be available. However, the future may see a cross collaboration or Apple coming up with their own Instant App service. Time will tell, but, the future of Instant Apps and faster user experience is surely bright.
