There has been a booming rise in the use of mobile apps since past 5 years with almost all big players having their exclusive apps to reach out to their users. With lot of new trends that dominated 2016, here we present few trends that will slay in 2017:
- IoT app integrations to dominate
Apps catering to IoT will be a huge dominance in the coming year. Mobile devices are are getting advanced with integration of sensors for various operations and this is already attracting masses. We are likely to see more applications that support IoT in terms of lot of electronic devices and gadgets becoming operational through mobile apps. Data gathering and sharing for this will also be handled effectively.
- Security and space to be a top priority
People do not do much to ensure that their smartphones are secure which is not good. This is a challenge for applications. In 2017, applications will work towards ensuring that they have inbuilt security to a certain extent possibly at API level. Also very soon, iOS coding will be changed to apple’s own programming language which will is likely to introduce new features and take are of security too. For android, google is about to make a large number of changes in its OS to enhance security. Space is another issue for the users. There are some apps that are nice but fail to retain the expected users because they consume a lot of space. So techniques that can save space are going to be in demand.
- Cross platform to be in demand
The use of cross platform apps to create hybrid applications is exponentially increasing, one due to the cost saving factor and other for not losing a big chunk of customers by restricting to single platform. There are some great hybrid tools available for developer like ionic, phone gap, angular js etc which help to create hybrid apps which work for all platforms. It saves a lot of time because the developers only have to write the code once.
- Push notifications and android/apple watches
Push notifications have become quite common with most of the apps and users are liking it. Interactive push notifications will continue to be in trend. Most of the apps will try to provide facilities to users where they can respond to the notification without opening the entire app. This will save battery in the phones. Another rage is the famous android/apple watch. Smartphone watches give users the ease of operation without touching the phone to view all notifications. It is a great invention and will gain more popularity in the coming year.
- Messengers/social networking apps to get upgraded
Entire 2016 we have seen the increasing usage of social media apps and messenger apps, especially whatsapp. In 2017 we believe these apps will keep on evolving and introducing new features to attract more users. Social media will be taken more seriously for branding and marketing.
