Google also announced Instant Apps, which is perhaps the best feature of Android N. Instant Apps is a new feature arriving next year that will allow users to access apps instantly without installation. Apparently, we don’t have enough communication apps, so on that note, Google at I/O 2016 showed two new apps: Allo, which is a new messaging app that features smart reply, and Duo a new video calling app that let you see who is calling before picking up. Both apps use your phone number instead of a Google Account, and they will be available later this summer.
