Back in May 2016, Google brought a new initiative called Android Instant Apps (that was renamed to Google Play Instant in March 2018 while adding support for Games) to let the user test a small portion of a native Android app (Instant Apps) without installing it first on their device. Now, although for all these years this experience was available only on the Android Phones, Tablets and PC (via Emulators), Google finally has brought Instant Apps support for Android TV.
Now, Android TV users can also taste a small portion of some select apps (for which the developer has created the Instant Apps support) before installing it on their device. Developers, on the other hand, can now create a Try Now button right next to the Install button on apps present in Google Play for Android TV.
