Soon you will be able to use Android apps without installing them
In theory, these instant applications work thanks to the deep links that Google already presented in the previous Google I/O, with which developers can link specific contents of their apps to access them directly from other applications or from the search engine Google The difference is that these contents are now reproduced through the web, without the need to download the application, reducing time in purchase processes or when loading specific application content.And what's better, in a way fast and native for the user, as if they were really using said app. Also, if you're interested, A single press allows you to download the app without having to search for it directly in the Google Play Store.
For developers this is also a great advance as it allows them to bring their content to more users without forcing them to install their applicationsA procedure that is necessary for now and that stops many users from using certain tools (because they don't have space on their mobile or because they don't go to use it later, for example). Also, for developers, it would mean to stop fighting to climb the app download charts to gain visibility They could launch links across the web orsocial networks to specifically use the information or functionality of your applications.
At the moment Google has only shown various processes in which the user could view videos and content from applications such as Vevo or BuzzFeed without downloading their respective apps, or the ability to buy a backpack and pay with Android Pay in just a couple of screen taps. Qualities that for now are limited, since only applications of less than 4 MB can be reproduced in this way, which could set aside games and other useful tools. Of course, Google is still developing this technology, which will reach almost all users this year The good thing is that, as they have confirmed, the Android instant applications would offer support to terminals with versionJelly Beam or newer, thus affecting a good number of users.
