Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms on the Internet allowing users to view and share a variety of different content to their followers and the world. Unfortunately as the service continues to grow and gain features so too does its system resource requirements, mainly storage space.
Although it has taken a considerable amount of time to be developed and released, Instagram Lite follows the same basic concept as all the other Lite apps on the market. Apps like Facebook Lite, Messenger Lite, YouTube Go, and of course Twitter Lite. All these Lite versions contain most of the same basic functions as their parent apps, with a fraction of the storage and resource requirements. For example, the standard version of Instagram uses 432mb of space, whereas the Lite version of Instagram only uses 22.81mb.
Unfortunately, just like all other Lite app launches, Instagram Lite isn’t yet available in every country from the Google Play Store and has a limited release area for the foreseeable future. Thankfully, there is another way to get Instagram Lite on your Android device regardless of where you live.
