Let us have a look at some ways in which the android Instant app will benefit enterprises, developers, and users together:

  • More space for creativity:

This will make the enterprise and developers to get more creative as they’ll have to create their first impression worth the user standards. Each one in the race will try best to bring out an ‘out of the box’ experience, not only to deliver ease of access, but also to create an impression which can make users download their application.

It has been noticed that often users hesitate to download an application that comes from some new house. With the dawn of android Instant apps, we can expect the beginning of better prospects for these new enterprises and developers.

  • Better Reach

If they fail to deliver better user experience the app won’t get space in the smartphones of their target audience.

  • Decreased Rate of user retention

The best part about the Android Instant applications is that the users don’t have to download the application to use it and they can directly have the access through a link. Once they are happy with the application and eventually find it useful in the future, they can download the application.
