The new app’s description on the Play Store reads, “Instagram is a simple way to capture and share the world’s moments. The Instagram Lite app is small, allowing you to save space on your phone and download it quickly. Follow your friends and family to see what they’re up to, and discover accounts from all over the world that are sharing things you love.” The Instagram Lite app was due from a long time as Facebook already has a lite app and so does Messenger. Both the apps are aimed at faster content delivery while minimising data consumption.
