According to PhoneArena, Instant Games is a fairly successful feature of Facebook, with a growth rate of 25% between June and September of this year. Understanding the appeal of this platform, in the latest announcement, Facebook said that they decided to add Instant Games to the Gaming Groups section.
Additionally, Facebook said it is looking into offering Instant Games as an optional feature for groups outside of Gaming Groups.
More importantly, as a way to increase the engagement of Instant Games, Facebook has decided to bring it to the Facebook Lite app. The new feature will be added in the More menu next to the News Feed, as a permanent access point. The games that Facebook Lite users can play through Instant Games are built on the HTML5 platform and do not require users to download any content.
Finally, Facebook promises that the company will continue to improve Instant Games on Messenger by developing additional platforms.
It is known that Instant Games is a feature that Facebook deployed in November 2016, allowing users to play games directly on Messenger or even on News Feed for both phones and the web.
