Instagram light introduced
Instagram has launched a light version for Android phones. The idea is a service that uses minimal data. It requires 2 MB to down load instead of 30 for the standard version but retains the key features for entry-level devices. The target groups are areas with limited internet capacity.
The version is introduced in 170 countries. Many of the regions that are connected do not possess the most up-to-date mobile devices, robust internet networks, or affordable data plans needed for swift delivery of the data-rich videos and images found on Instagram”, Instagram-owner Facebook said in a blog post.
“Our teams build these lightweight versions of our apps for people with low connectivity or limited data plans because our basic premise is to leave no one behind,” said Tzach Hadar, Director of Product Management at Facebook Tel Aviv, one of the largest strategic engineering hubs for Facebook globally.
