About this app

Built to perform well on slower networks, use less mobile data and take up less storage space on your phone, Instagram Lite makes it easier to bring yourself closer to the people and things you love. 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 think it needs an update... cause it's kinda lagging nowadays for no reason and we should be able to download reels from it... it's the most needed thing right now for everyone, not just for me. and oh the 2nd issue is that we are not able to add lyrics for the songs in our stories... and are definitely not yet able to edit the songs like... cut the part that we don't want or like adjust the song to our liking... so please... I request you to update it as soon as possible —thank you so much!

So, basically this lite version is very good for me I've liked everything, but I think that everything should not take a load . I have given this app 4 stars because I found something, that If you guys will try to upload a reel in 1080p, the instagram lite will upload it in 244p. And there is no settings to fix this . Instagram Please Fix.
