Google's Instant Apps, More Like Instant Flops - RIP 2020-2025

Ahem, yes, well, it appears that the tech titans at Google have decided to pull the plug on their so-called revolutionary Android Instant Apps. Yes, you heard right, the much-hyped, installation-free dream that was supposed to be the future of app usage has been declared deader than my social life on a Saturday night. With usage so low that even my pet rock has a higher engagement rate, Google has finally thrown in the towel.
Let's be real, folks, who actually found these Instant Apps to be anything more than an instant annoyance? I mean, here we are, trying to browse the web on our phones, and suddenly an app tries to take over like an uninvited guest at a dinner party. "No, thank you, I did not agree to this!" And Google's response? "Too bad, here's your instant app!" Ah, the innovation.
And let's not forget the sheer irony of this 'instant' feature requiring an update to actually work instantly. It's like waiting for instant noodles to cook in a pot of cold water. Genius, Google, truly. But now, as we approach December 2025, we bid adieu to this fiasco, this technological mishap, and instead, we shall mourn the wasted potential and the countless developers who thought this was the next big thing.
In conclusion, may the Instant Apps rest in peace or at least rest in a drawer next to all those other forgotten Google projects. As for me, I'll keep using my browser like a normal person and save my instant gratification for things that actually deliver, like a good cup of coffee or the latest episode of my favorite podcast.
