Top 8 Trends in Mobile App Development

Must read

 

The world of mobile app development company has changed drastically in the last few years. Platforms like iOS and Android have been redesigned so many times that if you aren’t developing for them every day, it can be hard to keep up with the changes. Even if you are developing regularly, there are tons of small changes from month to month or even week to week that you’d never know about unless you were paying extremely close attention—and even then, you might miss something crucial that causes your app to break on one platform but not the other, or in one version of the software but not another.

1) Speed
Speed is a significant part of user experience. Getting an app off your screen and available on a mobile device as quickly as possible should be at least somewhat of a priority for any developer. As people have come to expect near-instant delivery of information, so will their expectations increase for their apps. To stay ahead of development trends and expectations, you need to focus on optimization and speed throughout design.

2) Artificial Intelligence
Most modern apps use AI to some degree, so if your product is not using AI you’re going to be at a major disadvantage. Big companies like Google and Microsoft are making big investments in AI technologies that will help developers make it easier for people to interact with their apps. People want to be able to easily take pictures of items they need, then shop for those items immediately. The days of copying down a long list of items are over; now you just snap pictures and shop right away with fewer steps involved.

3) User Experience
As users become more tech-savvy, they expect more out of their applications. In order to stay relevant, mobile app development must meet user expectations across all platforms and devices, from smartphones to tablets and wearable devices. This means that teams must develop for multiple operating systems and screen sizes as well as ensure that their applications are always compatible with updates to iOS and Android operating systems.

4) Feature Filled Apps
Just as developers are moving away from cramming their mobile apps with dozens of features, they’re also trending toward building feature-filled apps. These range from standard app features like games and shopping carts to more smart ones like health trackers. This allows for each app to have a unique selling point — and given that an average user has 5-10 apps on their phone at any given time, it also serves as a way to set your brand apart from competitors.

5) All About Apps
Who doesn’t love apps? A mobile app is a must for many businesses, especially those seeking to better engage with their customers. But are you aware of all that your mobile app can do? Perhaps you need to look into creating a new one from scratch or improving on an old one. In any case, there are certain trends that will dominate in terms of how mobile apps will look and function over time. Here is a list of eight trends expected to hit in 2022

6) Rethinking Apps as Mini Websites
It may not be long before all of our native apps morph into full-blown mobile websites. Some of these apps are already adopting a hybrid model that allows for a smaller footprint when an Internet connection is available. Others, like Twitter and Snapchat, have started to put everything on their website instead of keeping users within their app ecosystem, where they can market content more easily across all devices. As web development continues to innovate and improve, it won’t be surprising if native mobile apps go extinct entirely by 2022.

7) Designing For Both Humans and Machines
Artificial intelligence and machine learning aren’t just buzzwords any more—they are already shaping our everyday experiences. However, app designers should be careful about relying on these techniques for design. In order to get users excited about AI-driven apps, you’ll need to offer something different from what your competitors have and make sure it stays useful over time. If you can do that, AI has a lot of potential for shaking up user interfaces.

8) Blockchain Powered Apps
If you follow blockchain at all, you’ve likely heard of a company called Ethereum. Ethereum is an open-source, decentralized platform that runs on blockchain technology. Apps built on Ethereum utilize smart contracts to create trustless systems that allow developers to share code and collect payment—without having to rely on traditional intermediaries like banks or brokers.
