Express yourself and connect with people over creative moments.

Less storage than instagram. Its loading speed isn't smooth. I've only used it for a few mins and the only difference I've seen is I can't pause reels; and when i was going to change my profile but decided not to, it wouldn't let me exit unless i clicked on a photo ONLY THEN i could exit. ofc these bugs dont affect me that much but the speed does. How is a lite version of an app running less smooth than the original?? pls fix this edit: u have to toggle the audio one by one for swiping posts.

I’ve been using Instagram Lite for a while now, and honestly, my life has improved so much since the reels don’t work anymore! It’s such a relief to not get sucked into endless scrolling. I find myself with so much more time to focus on things that truly matter. The app is light, fast, and easy to navigate without the distractions of the full version. It’s a perfect balance of staying connected without losing hours of my day. Highly recommend if you want a more focused, simplified experience!

I am really happy with Instagram Lite! I love how lightweight and fast it is compared to the regular Instagram app. It runs smoothly even on low-storage devices and works well with slow internet connections. I appreciate that it still includes all the essential features like posting photos, viewing stories, and messaging friends, without taking up too much space. If you're looking for a simple, efficient, and data-friendly Instagram experience, this app is perfect!
