Developers of apps are coming up with creative and innovative ways to make applications attractive to users. However, not all these developers have honest intentions. Some are fraudsters and scammers trying to take advantage of the general public by showing them high-end apps when in reality they are full of viruses. 

Now let’s take a look at the top mobile app development trends:

The Coming of 5G

Even though 5G has been around for a while, it is only recently that technology companies have started incorporating it at full scale. This will have a great impact on the way apps are built and used by people. One of the biggest perks of 5G will be that speed and efficiency will tremendously increase. Apart from this, apps will also become much faster and smoother. Additionally, new innovations will also take place in the field of app development. 

Apps Catering To Foldable Devices

Experts believe that an increasing number of people will start purchasing foldable devices from this year onwards. According to studies conducted by Statista, in 2022 alone, 50 million units will be shipped. This will come as a challenge to app developers as they will have to build apps that run smoothly on such devices. Foldable devices will have many advantages as well. For instance, a larger scream means more space for a more immersive and detailed experience. Just by increasing screen size, the gaming apps sector will experience countless benefits. 

AR and VR

Pokemon Go was a highly successful gaming app, although it did not last long. It was a beautiful example of AR in mobile apps. Now more than ever, companies are making use of AR and VR in the development of applications. For example, Google introduced a feature known as ‘Live View’ in Google Maps. It gives users the ability to see directions in real-time and that too on real-world imagery. The stats related to AR and VR are also promising. Statista reported that the market for AR and VR technology will rise from $27 billion in 2018 to about $209 billion in 2022.

Wearable Apps

App developers are working on applications that offer a top-notch experience to users on wearable devices, such as smartwatches. Research has shown that the number of people utilizing such appliances will only increase in 2022. Connected wearable devices will reach 929 million in 2022, compared to 453 million in 2017.

Conclusion

This decade is going to be an exciting and thrilling time for apps. Apps developed by Phonato Studios will see transformation occurring due to innovation and creativity.
