Instagram pushes notifications to Lite and web versions
Instagram's web version is still nowhere near as robust as its app, but the platform has slowly been adding more and more features to it these past few years. Now, it looks like Instagram has finally given it the power of notifications. Next time you visit the platform on a Chrome browser whether on mobile or on desktop, you'll see a message asking if you'd like to switch on notifications for new followers, likes and comments. According to Android Police, the option is now also available for Instagram Lite, the lightweight version of the app for phones with small RAM and storage, as well as for places with slow or intermittent internet connection.
Instagram Lite quietly goes live on Google Play
Instagram has followed in its parent company's footsteps and launched a lightweight version of its app on Google Play. Like its Facebook and Messenger counterparts, Instagram Lite was created for users in developing nations. Since it's only 573 kilobytes instead of 32MB like the main app, even those with older phones or devices with small storage on the lower-end of the pricing spectrum can use it. The application's smaller size also makes it possible for people who only have access to slow or intermittent internet connection to download it from Google Play.
