require an install on your phone and shall be available to use with an experience like opening
pages on web browser from any URL. This all will be possible through Google's efforts to
connect Google Web World with Android Native Apps. Instant apps have already started become part of Google Play Store.

approach of designing a responsive or adaptive web apps , they are opting for innovative
experiences for users and PWA is enabling them to do just the same.
