Lite version of flagships apps are slowly becoming a rage, we have seen such trimmed down version of apps for Facebook, Messenger, Twitter and more. These apps are mainly aimed at regions where the connectivity is poor or data usage plans are less. They not only consume less data, but the installation size is also very small compared and also function smoothly on phones with less storage. In fact, Google itself is pushing trimmed down version of its app in the form of Android Go.
Following the same path, Instagram just launched a ‘Lite’ variant of its flagship image and video sharing app, Instagram on the Play Store. The interface and functionality of the Lite app follow the same footsteps as other popular Lite apps like Facebook. However, there is bad news, the company currently launched the Instagram Lite app only in Mexico and will be expanding to other countries gradually ‘later this year.’ Then again, we have a workaround for you to use the app outside of Mexico right away instead of waiting for the company to launch it. Here’s how you can install Instagram Lite right now. Let’s get started.
Installing Instagram Lite app outside of Mexico is very easy, just follow the below-mentioned steps:
- Firstly, from your desktop/Laptop open the Instagram Lite app PlayStore listing,
