Instagram introduces new feature to use less data for Android users

Instagram announced a new feature on Wednesday designed to use less data that will provide users with uninterrupted browsing experience in slow internet areas. With this opt-in mode, people across the world can view their favourite content on Instagram with reduced image loading time, by reducing the amount of data that the application uses on their mobile phones.

Designed specifically for emerging markets where data plans and internet speeds may be limited, the feature will not pre-load videos, and will not download high-resolution images, except in certain those that the user chooses. This will give people the ability to control their data usage on Instagram and increase the speed for loading images.
