Sometimes content is best accessed in its native app. But most often, we do not need that app beyond a single specific instance. To deal with this scenario, Google has introduced Android Instant Apps. For the content that is deep-linked into participating apps, the app will download seamlessly and install to let you use it at that very moment.
Android Instant Apps lets you experience beautiful and immersive apps, with material design and smooth animations, without installing them on your device. Android Instant Apps will run on a majority of Android devices that use Google Play services.
Google has started rolling out a test of the service and opened up the access to the third-party developers. Instant apps now appear to have rolled out to Nexus and Pixel devices.
