The success of these apps has paved the way for the new Instagram Lite which weighs in at just 573kb for Android devices – instead of the 32MB standard Instagram app.

The company is also set to add messaging feature and ability to share videos in no time. In addition, it is important to note that the app consume lesser space on your device, uses fewer data, and loads quickly even in very poor network conditions.
