What is Instagram Lite?
Instagram Lite is a stripped-down version of the Instagram mobile app, optimized for users with limited storage space or internet connectivity. Just like the regular Instagram app, Instagram Lite lets you:
- Take and edit photos and videos
- Apply filters and effects
- Post content to your feed or Story
- Like, comment on, and share posts from people you follow
- Browse the feeds of accounts you follow
- Direct message friends
However, Instagram Lite lacks some features such as IGTV, Shopping, and Augmented Reality filters which the full Instagram app includes. The aim is to provide a fast, smooth experience for people who may be using lower-end devices or have limited data. The app is less than 1MB in size (compared to over 100MB for the full app) making it quicker to install. Overall, Instagram Lite offers a simple but functional Instagram experience for people wanting the basics without all the bells and whistles.
