Encouraging users to download yet another app can be an uphill battle, particularly when the app lacks distinctive features and is launched by Meta, a company already facing scrutiny. The future of Instants remains uncertain, and I wouldn't be surprised if we hear news of its discontinuation sooner rather than later.
