App installations are so five minutes ago. At Wednesday’s Google I/O keynote, the company showed off Android Instant Apps — apps that run without even being installed.

The demo was a “sneak peek” at a feature that will be rolled out over the next year, according to Ellie Powers, group product manager on the Android team. It won’t even require Android N. It will work all the way back to older JellyBean phones; the onstage demo was performed with a phone running KitKat. 

“We want to make it easier for users and developers to connect,” Powers said. “For users to access a wider range of apps, and for developers to reach more people. With the Web, you can just click on a link and land on a webpage. That’s one click, and land in a few seconds. What if you could run any app on one tap? That’s what we’re working on.”
