Android Instant Apps is a new way to run Android apps without requiring installation. Instant Apps is an important part of Google’s effort to help users discover and run apps with minimal friction.

Upon clicking on a link from a Google search result , Google Play will fetch a modular package that contains only section of the full application. This section would download and run instantly from the Google search results.

Google has recently announced that the first few Instant Apps are ready for a “limited test”. The first batch of Instant Apps come from BuzzFeed, Wish, Periscope, and Viki.
