It is incredible, but true, that currently 2.1 billion people around the world have a smartphone and use it more than 200 times a day, interacting with different types of applications. It’s amazing how mobile apps have captured every aspect of our lives.

Accelerated Mobile Web Pages (AMP) are changing the landscape of web applications

Google started the AMP project almost a year ago. Google also recently announced that there will be a separate search index for the mobile web. This completely changes the trends of the mobile web, especially from an SEO perspective. Google Amp-enabled web apps will load much faster on mobile devices and reduce bounce rates by huge amounts. It will also benefit publishers with higher ad visibility and more visitors.

The magic of AR and VR

Augmented reality and virtual reality applications are going to be the new trend in the world of mobile applications. Mobile app developers for Android and iPhone have already been working on virtual reality apps that serve the entertainment industry. PokemonGo is a prominent example of the success of this type of application. Although virtual reality is not expected to catch on so soon, augmented reality is already making it big in the mobile app world.

artificial intelligence is real

There is going to be a significant increase in investment in artificial intelligence in the near future. By using advanced analytics, cognitive interfaces into complex systems, and machine learning technologies, AI will be able to provide access to valuable insights about businesses that have never been available before.

Cloud-powered mobile apps

Cloud-powered technologies are influencing how mobile apps are developed and used. Cloud computing today has made its way strongly into the world of mobile applications. It makes mobile apps more accessible anywhere and anytime, without placing a lot of load on phone memory or space because these apps get their inputs directly from the cloud.

Enterprise apps and microapps

The main purpose of the business mobile app is to help you streamline and streamline your business processes. A microapp, on the other hand, is designed to fulfill only a specific function. These two types of applications are crucial to the success of businesses in today’s world.

security applications

Security is one of the main concerns in this highly connected world. According to a Gartner study, nearly 75% of applications fail even basic security tests. This includes a number of features, such as login methods, access to external storage, etc. It can be easy for hackers to exploit this, if you don’t think about security properly during the development phases.

mobile commerce

As more and more shoppers move from the web to mobile devices, business trends are shifting from the web to the mobile domain. Even mobile payments make things quite easy for customers.

Other developments in the mobile domain are the rise of wearable devices and the IoT. Mobile app development for Android and iPhone is undergoing a transformation from traditional basic apps to apps that can do much more.
