Instagram ‘Instants’ app launches on Android, and it’s basically Snapchat - 9to5Google
Overview
Instagram launched Instants as a standalone Android app to surface its ephemeral camera and disappearing-photo experience outside the main app, using uneditable, disappearing photos to encourage casual sharing. The move mirrors a broader industry trend toward dedicated ephemeral content across social platforms. Following rollout confusion and accidental sends, TechCrunch published instructions for disabling Instants and retracting shared photos, highlighting user demand for clearer controls.
