Computing Device Facilitating End User Access to Functionality of Applications Not Yet Installed

A mobile computing device includes a touchscreen display, a transceiver, a non-transitory memory that stores a first native application that is installed at the mobile computing device, and a computing processor. The computer processor executes computer readable instructions that cause the computing processor to execute the first native application that is installed at the mobile computing device. The computing processor formulates a query for application functions. The computing processor sends the query to a remote system via the first native application. The remote system stores information regarding application functions. The computing processor, in response to sending the query, receives a result that includes a portion of a functionality associated with a second native application. The computing processor provides access to the functionality without installing the second native application.
