Evolution and Innovation in Mobile Apps



Mobile apps are evolving at a blistering pace. Since the concept was first introduced, each online industry knew where it’s headed. There’s an app for literally everything these days. Whether you’re watching matches, betting on the go, or ordering grocery or takeaway, we live in a mobile app era that’s only going to grow stronger.



App development isn’t going to slow down anytime soon considering the mobile-oriented future. Below you can see the ways we think mobile apps will grow and evolve in the near or distant future.

AI

Advanced AI is already here. Ever heard of ChatGPT? Similar AI platforms and models will vastly improve each smartphone’s capabilities. For example, AI could create a weekly accumulator in sports betting apps based on your previous choices and betting frequency. Or it will find new bands for you to listed to instead of an algorithm like Spotify (News - Alert) uses. The future for AI is bright, although granted, it will need a bit of shackles before it goes all Skynet on us.

AR and VR

Augmented and virtual reality are already being added in some apps, although in beta versions. Imagine sightseeing in Tokyo with your smartphone scanning the environment and pulling up resourceful information about your surroundings? Virtual reality can take us to places we’ve never been before, and together with AI and AR, they represent the most viable future for mobile app development.

Safer Payments

We order all kinds of stuff online – some essential, some less so. Payments are safe and secure these days, but some platforms leave a lot to be desired. But, mobile app companies are working on safer payments with new and innovative firewalls and security features that will make paying on the go a breeze.

Personalized Experience

Mobile apps offer a personalized experience to a degree. However, in the future it will be even more personalized. You can expect tailored content and functionality based on your preferences, behavior, and past searches. Thanks to AI and data analytics, everything will take a step further and apps will become smarter, providing us with relevant content and services like never before.

Internet of Things (IoT)

What’s the Internet of Things? It’s a new concept in which all devices and objects are interconnected. Mobile apps will play a crucial role in management of these connections in the future. They already control our wearables and parts of our smart homes, and it’ll get a lot better in the future.

Apps will seamlessly connect to other apps, allowing them to interact with various devices. We can already control our fridges and ACs, but deeper integration is set to follow soon.

5G Technology and Beyond

5G is already a thing in many countries, offering lightning-fast speeds and low latency that can put cables to shame. Enhanced connectivity is another benefit of 5G. As the speeds go up and new technologies emerge, cloud-based streaming and gaming will become available to an even bigger group of people.

Together with IoT applications, they will serve as a platform for unique and innovative mobile apps.
