Internet of Things and AI: their impact on mobile app development

 

With 5G technologies improving connections, the network of Internet-connected gadgets will expand. Called Internet of Things, it provides customers with added convenience and control. How do mobile apps come into play? Using these applications, you can set the temperature, open or lock your front door or connect to your home security system. Thanks to Internet of Things, mobile apps can also control refrigerators and other appliances. In fact, this market size is expected to reach $222 billion by the end of the year.

In a similar vein, artificial intelligence and machine learning will enhance the mobile app development sector. These technologies have been around for many years. Nonetheless, a lot of consumers have a limited knowledge on how they can be used. For instance, most people link AI to voice assistants like Alexa or Siri. However, its use in the industry goes well beyond that. Indeed, artificial intelligence can make apps smarter and better and it will revolutionise app development from the backend to the frontend.

Another trend that will be increasingly popular is Progressive Web Apps (PWA). These systems provide users with a mobile app experience. However, there is no need to download them from app stores. They can be launched straight from a browser and some do not even require an internet connection. Several businesses are integrating PWAs into their website platforms.
