Mobile app development trends in 2018
After a successful 2017, the mobile application industry is ready to take on and face the challenges in 2018. The mobile development scenario is on its way to mature and become more user-friendly. It aims to integrate business needs and technical issues.
Mobile Application Performance Manager
Experience over the past year reveals that although the app market has performed well, there are fewer app downloads per user. Developers are now looking for applications that attract and satisfy users and also encourage regular use of their applications. The goal is to make them technically sound and at the same time increase the demand for use.
Blockchain technology
The sudden and meteoric rise in the use of Bitcoins has fueled interest in mobile blockchain technology. The developers are ready to hold on to this interest. Your only concern would be to determine the benefits of using the new technology to replace the old SQL database for individual applications.
Machine learning
Apple’s Core ML library has introduced built-in ML models. This gives developers a convenient way to include ML technology in iOS applications. In 2018, application developers are expected to take advantage of this advantage.
Chatbots
Chatbots launched in 2016. They created messaging platforms using the bot to use on websites. This year, these bots are ready to expand their domain to mobile. Developers find it easy to use chatbots. They don’t have to learn a new interface, nor do they need to develop native applications that need regular updates.
Instant Android App
This new entrant is likely to become one of the favorites this year. It does not need installation and is compatible with all operating systems. The ability to embed it in Google search engines acts as an added bonus.
Optimized mobile page
Google AMP makes web browsing on mobile devices faster. Domains use AMP to reach and engage more users. More and more applications are expected to convert to AMP to take advantage of the advantage.
5G is on the way
5G is ready to deliver speed. It will work up to sixty times faster than current 4G technology. This new network will roll out slowly with US-based service providers leading the way.
Return of the cloud
In 2018, cloud-based applications will grow to a whopping 89%. Cloud storage is secure. It cleans up space on devices and does not consume device memory, making it a preferred storage for private and business use. Mobile Backend as a Service enables data to move back and forth from the cloud to the device easily, conveniently and quickly.
Wearables will continue to grow this year. Security concerns will be part of application development as more and more transactions take place using mobile phones. Developers will be involved in the development of more and more on-demand applications as their use increases and new companies begin to see them as a means of reaching customers. Virtual reality and augmented reality applications will see an increase in demand and will drive the field of mobile application development.
