What’s the future of mobile applications?

Question

The visibility of mobile devices to companies is impressive at the point where the market is. We can affirm that mobile apps hold a great future.

Thanks to the increase in the use of smartphones, applications remain at their peak, but how far can they go? What do you think?

Akash Panigrahi · Accepted Answer

For me, the future of mobile applications appears to be bleak. In this age of diminishing attention spans, applications compete with one another to hold their users' time hostage. We have apps like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, which have the largest market share.

This makes it difficult for indie developers to make a living from app development, as well as for salaried individuals looking for a side hustle.

I could go on and on about this subject, but you get the idea. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Answer

Mobile applications will continue to grow, mainly due to superior user experience as compared to using the same application in a web browser.

Amey More · Answer

The future of mobile applications is going to be focused on artificial intelligence, augmented reality, big data, and machine learning.

Developers should consider these trends when developing their next app:
- Artificial intelligence will be used in various ways like personal assistants, smart chatbots, virtual assistants, etc.
- Augmented reality will be used to enhance the user experience by adding a layer of information on top of what we see in front of us
- Machine learning is going to change how we interact with smartphones

Apps that don't rely on advertising seem to have a lot of potential in a market where data privacy and misinformation are top concerns. And with wearables proliferating perhaps the future of mobile apps have nothing to do with your phone.
