Application Performance Management listings were integrated in 2016, and since then developers have not looked back.  These include in the app framework, developers have been able to use this boiled down version of HTML for better user experience and retention, with Facebook Instant articles being one of the many success stories. From these monitoring tools and metrics that help resolve bottlenecks as well as enhance overall performance in 2019.

Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

AI and machine learning have dug their heels deeper into mobile apps before we realized. AI - manifest in the form of chatbots. Siri is one of the biggest proofs why machine learning and artificial intelligence are very much a part and importance of mobile apps, and ones that cannot be separated now. Today there is a huge demand for machine learning and AI in the form of virtual assistants and chatbots and that is what 2019 will bring for us.

The rise in the Demand for Wearable Devices and IoT

Mobile app developers are looking to develop apps for wearable devices, mostly smartwatches. Thanks to Apple for the affordability constraint is out of the equation. Currently, it is the mostly horology and fitness industry that are looking towards smartwatches, but a few big names like Zomato and Uber have invested in wearable app development. Although, mostly they only have scratched the mere surface.

2019 promises to bring more wearables – watches, fitness bands, movement trackers, and many.

Chatbots will be Integral

Chatbots are acting as virtual assistants within mobile applications. The new advancement in AI, it is now an easy job to integrate chatbots within apps without involving intricate coding. A rather interesting infographic Digital Commerce suggests that as many as 50% of B2B buyers prefer self-service CRM. The integral of chatbots is the new way to extend that sort of customer relationship management.

AR and VR will Influence Mobile Strategies

AR and VR are here to stay - Predicted to reap over $200 billion in revenues by 2020, developers are expected to create breathtaking mobile app experiences in AR and VR. That compatible hardware entering into the market, we can’t wait to get this party started.

Cloud Integration

Cloud integration took years but finally it waking up to the possibilities offered by cloud computing and integration. Streamlining operations, better storage, reduced costs in hosting and loading capacity, along with increased user retention, are few of the many advantages of developing mobile apps over the cloud.

Beacons Technology

We are likely to see it more than ever in the form of beacon-enabled airports, mobile payments beacons, and even automated personal beacons. So, the trends will be to create more useful apps to work on beacons technology and make virtual guides and personalized information sharing smoother.

Conclusion:

Owed to so many trends being hot topics in the field of mobile app development, there is much to anticipate in the forthcoming year. Although Artificial Intelligence is the umbrella which numerous other technologies nestle under, it is the objective to deliver authentic experiences which drive developers – and the reason we have uniquely personified mobile solutions today.
