Instant Apps Rolled Out
It might sound complex but it is pretty nimble and worthy. Well, say, you are Google searching for a camera and you see B&H has it. So, when you click on the link, a temporary B&H app will install and you can search around without installing the app.
The feature started rolling out in January and continued to roll out the feature over past few months. Now, Google said that it has covered over 500 million Android devices, which support Instant Apps feature. The feature is currently compatible with devices with Android 6.0 and up.
