After launching Android, the big tech giant has never looked back and continued to surprise the world with more interesting concepts, tools, tricks and updates. One such exciting concept that made headlines last year in May at Google I\/O is Android Instant Apps, which is now set to disrupt the entire technology landscape.<\/p>\n

The testing of the new feature has begun with Buzzfeed, Periscope, Viki and Wish applications. And with time, more applications will be a part of it before the company officially flags it green.<\/p>\n

There is so much to learn for Android app developers to explore, experiment and implement in the source code of their apps if they wish to reap the benefits. The concept is said to bridge the gap between the mobile web and the mobile app, creating WIN-WIN situation for both users as well as for the app developers and owners.<\/p>\n

Being a layman or someone who isn\u2019t glued to tech news, we have covered everything you need to know about Android Instant Apps in the sections to come. So, let\u2019s get started, uncovering each aspect and answering each probable question that pops in your head.<\/p>\n

What are Android Instant Apps?<\/h2>\n

They are referred to the smart subsets of an app that allows users to experience the app interface without even downloading the app. This means only the desired code of the app runs in the browser enabling easy access to users by simply following the web search link from the search results page. You get to the desired app page with just one click, that too without loading your smartphone with complete app download.<\/p>\n

For this feature to take effect, android app developers<\/a> have a major role to play, amending the source code as per the new norms. Work done in the background becomes more crucial here, which include accessing unique device identifiers (Build Serial, IMSI, IMEI, Mac Address and SSAID) and push notifications.<\/p>\n

Why Android Instant Apps?<\/h2>\n

For end users, storage has always been an impactful concern. They are reluctant in downloading a new app. The download gets underway only if they feel that they won\u2019t make it without the app. These left users to access the mobile version of the desired website, which obviously at no cost can match the quality and experience app offers.<\/p>\n

\"Google<\/p>\n

Then came, Google with this new feature that not only benefits app owners in finding new prospects but also grant users a superlative app-like experience. Since it allows accessing features of the app without downloading it, the end users are at advantage of relishing the features without creating an extra load on their smartphone\u2019s RAM and storage drive.<\/p>\n

How does it add value?<\/h2>\n

There is a lot being said about this latest tech innovation and what it packs within for users and developers? Although, the testing is on, but the real facts are yet to come out, which android app development companies need to know at the earliest. The primary focus of this new feature is to levitate the present user experience, but the fate will decide if that happens or not. Let\u2019s see how the latest concept can be a game-changer in the app world.<\/p>\n
