Instagram Lite

Instagram Lite is a lightweight version of the application of the photo-based social network for low-end Android smartphones with limited resources.

The lightweight Instagram client

Although it started as an application for applying filters and editing photos that could later be shared online, it has grown into one of the most powerful social networks through its purchase on behalf of Facebook Inc., which has given it the final boost, that it needed. But because not all users are the same, mainly because not everyone can afford the latest Samsung Galaxy, they decided to release a lite version of the app. And that's why we can now download the APK of Instagram Lite.

Share photos and videos online with the rest of Instagrammers

So if you are a user of this social network where you share your daily adventures like a coffee at Starbucks or your feet with the sea in the background (please, trim those nails) which is a must this summer along with some kind of silly comment, this is the app you definitely need. Especially when your phone is getting old or you just don't need all the features of the parent application to follow all your favorite stars like Justin Bieber or Kim Kardashian.

These are the main features of IG Lite that you can enjoy as soon as you log into this new app:

• Post photos on your profile and edit them with filters.
• Share multiple images of your Instagram story that will be viewable for 24 hours.
• Watch the stories of other users you follow.
• Discover new users as well as images and videos in the Explore tab.

However, if you've tried Facebook and Facebook Lite before, you must have realized that there are some differences between the features you can use on one side and the other. The same goes for Instagram and Instagram Lite as you cannot send DMs from this new app nor can you access the latest big hit, IGTV or Instagram TV in the form of an online video streaming service.

Anyhow, it comes along with a clean interface that is less cluttered than usual but from where you can easily access the most basic functions and features. In other words, even if your phone is absolute junk, you can still be a decent Instagrammer.

Well, there's one more thing to say... if it was a real lite app, every old android could use it. However, it requires Android 5.0, so if you're still using 4.3 or 4.4, two of the most used versions, forget about uploading your cool pics with this app.

Requirements and further information:

• It is currently not available in all countries.

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 8.0.
