Google Instant Apps will fade away after a couple of years because nobody gets it and it's a solution looking for a problem again. They specialise in auto-faili

  I disagree its a solution looking for a problem. The problem is most internet/computing usage is done on mobile. Increasingly, this information is inside of Apps. This makes Google's search results less and less effective overtime. That is, unless I can click on a google search result and end up in the middle of an app I've never downloaded. I think a better criticism is that Instant Apps is attempting to rebuild internet, using apps. A destination I can go to, and only download what I need to run the experience in that view? And I can still click on other things and load those when I need it? It's called surfing the web, dude.

  You don't have to get it to use it. I see LinkedIn is now supporting Google Instant Apps and when i searched for a name on the Google app, clicked on the linked link, it opened the profile in an app, though i don't have the app installed. It was seamless with the feel of native app. Don't see what problems it would create.

  They specialise in the most popular mobile operating system, the most popular search engine and one of if not the most popular browsers. If they provide for instant apps, people will use instant apps.
