Google Ends Android Instant Apps: What Developers and Users Need to Know
Google has announced it will end support for Android Instant Apps in December 2025, marking the end of a feature that once promised to revolutionize app discovery by letting users try apps without installing them. Introduced in 2017, Instant Apps allowed users to launch specific app modules instantly, but the technology never gained significant traction, with most users and developers remaining indifferent or facing hurdles such as strict size limits and extra development work. The company cites low usage and engagement as the main reasons for shutting down Instant Apps, signaling a strategic shift toward alternative discovery tools and enhanced app install experiences. Developers will soon lose access to publishing and API functionalities tied to Instant Apps, and tooling support will vanish in upcoming Android Studio updates. This move highlights Googles pivot to more effective app discovery solutions, like AI-powered app highlights, ensuring that both users and developers can benefit from streamlined, engaging app installation processes going forward.
