While the main app is sized at 30MB on download, the Lite app is just 2MB.<\/p>\n<p>Instagram Lite doesn\u2019t have AR-based stickers and effects in order to reduce the size. The team also removed some transition animations to decrease the load time of stories and feed.<\/p>\n<p>It also uses some tools utilized to build Facebook Lite, such as SizeBot to keep the size of the files used in the project under check. To learn more about these tools, you can read our feature on how Facebook built its Lite app here.<\/p>\n<p><em>[Read: How Facebook crammed all its major features into a 2MB Lite app]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In addition to these tools,\u00a0<span>Instagram Lite also optimizes image quality<\/span>. It\u2019s using a different version of JPEG for compression so that images load faster. Plus, it\u2019s using CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) to store some assets to reduce the load time.<\/p>\n<p>The next step for Instagram Lite team is to roll out support for dark mode and Reels worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>You can download the app from <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.instagram.lite\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>Did you know we have a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>letter all about consumer tech?
