Instant App: is it a Web App?

Question

Recently I just started to learn Android Instant app . As far I research, it make me feel that it behaves like a Web App, which used to replace mobile websites.

This may be a dumb question, but I want to figure out whether Android Instant app is a Web App or not. And, any difference between both of them ?

Answer 1

Android Instant Apps allows Android users to run your apps instantly, without installation.

Web apps or Now most used as Progressive Web Apps are user experiences that have the reach of the web, and are: Reliable - Load instantly and never show the downasaur, even in uncertain network conditions

Differenrences between Webapp and AndroidInstantApp:

• Web apps have lack integration with some smartphone features like contacts,Bluetooth, flashlight etc. AIAs always have.

• Web apps can be crawled and discovered by search engines. While they don't need to be developed as fully fledged apps, they still need to be developed as web apps that meet Google's standards.Whereas AIAs only need to be upgraded from the already existing
  native mobile app.
