Google has announced the release of several apps that sport the new Android Instant Apps feature. This allows Android users to use an Android app without having to install it from the Play store.
Google demonstrated it back at Google I/O last year.
Google has allowed a few publishers to launch these in the real Android world as a live test. These publishers include BuzzFeed, Wish, Periscope and Viki. These live tests will allow Google to collect “user feedback and iterating on the product.”
For more details, see the Android developer blog.
