Opt in or out of Instant Apps

On your device, open the Settings app .
Go to Google Instant Apps.
Under "Instant Apps account," select which account to opt in our out of. To opt out for all accounts, tap None.

But I'll also give a bit of unsolicited advice. Go to your settings menu. Starting at the top, open every option, sub-option and sub-menu and really read what it's asking you. You'll find that you can turn off many auto things that you may find intrusive or are battery/CPU-cycle hogs.

I recently set up an android tablet for friends going travelling. We pared it down to a sleek, private device that didn't default to
Google Inc. for everything.
