Most of use have been afraid of installing apps on out phone due the space constraints. At this point many wonder whether it would be good if one could test it before committing to the app and installing it. Google may have found the solution for Android users where it is building Instant Apps into its Play Store.

Google is in the process of building Instant Apps into the Play Store and will have a 'Try It Now' button on the app pages, according to a Engadget report. If you tap it then the user can find out whether the app was what they were looking for or not.

This will save so much of the users time in downloading, installing and then uninstalling the app if they did not like it.

Currently only a handful of apps are explicitly labeled as Instant Apps-ready, but the list of apps to have this is expected to grow soon.

Google has also made some other important tweaks to the store too and revamped the games area with trailers and sections for new and premium games. The redone Editor's Choice area is now up and running in 17 countries, said the report.

It also implemented some behind-the-scenes changes that could improve the users chances of seeing your favorite subscription service on Android.

Google will also reduce its cut of subscription apps from 30% to 15% if a user remains with the service for more than a year. This however will not take effect until January 1, 2018.

However, it would make a difference for services that previously had to give away nearly a third of their revenue no matter how long they stayed aboard.
