We may soon be able to Run Apps in Android Without Installing Them

Google recently announced that they had been working on Instant Apps, a new feature that would let apps to run without really installing them. They let developers to take full advantages of modules that let mobile web users to use an application.

Tapping a link, Google Play Store runs the app instantly by fetching some pieces of the app that we need at that moment.

 They showed off the first demo with an Android device running version 4.4(KitKat) where the presenter clicked the Buzzfeed Video link to view a recipe and got redirected to the appropriate part of the application. This only took about two seconds time span.

 In second demo, they used B&H's Android app to show a complete search to purchase cycle of a camera bag on the company's app. It just took 30 seconds and three clicks to purchase a new camera bag.

 It is expected to get Android Instant Apps feature on our devices by the end of this year.
