Google Play Instant allows you to open a few apps with a “Try Now” option to have a look and feel of the app. With that, you only try the app without actually downloading and installing it on your phone. Apps with these characteristics are called Instant Apps. Instant apps only load a certain number of sections and functions required to execute the current action.

After setting up Google Play Instant, when you click on links to an app (from the search bar, emails, or ads), the apps will automatically open using Google Play Instant. With this, you can try the app well before you install them. So there is no need to waste your data downloading then installing, and when you do not enjoy the app, you now delete it. With Google Play Instant, you no longer have to go that way. Apart from that, trying the app out will allow you to check out some limited features the app has.

Now using the Instant Apps comes with you having your information temporarily stored. However, do not be alarmed because you can still remove your data. You can do that easily by visiting the Settings app > Google > Instant Apps.
