Every year there will be new inventions and technologies coming out. If we compare five years before and after in the tech world, there will be huge differences. The market share for Android is 85%, with more than 3 million applications available. Android apps are readily available and user-friendly.

Within the tip of our touch now everything is available right now.

From shopping for the favorite shoes to sitting at home to virtual streaming movies with friends, Mobile apps have made extreme changes to our culture.

Technology is evolving, 2022 is an exciting year to explore new possibilities in the android world. 

Let’s look at the  Android app development trends in 2022

1. Mobile Commerce

Mobile payments are going to increase more in 2022. Now everything is shifted to net banking. People are more trusting google pay, phone pay, payzapp, and other online mobile wallets. 

Now people prefer to make payments through mobile and smartwatches instead of ready cash or credit cards.  Mobile wallet services have become a necessity in our day-to-day life. Mobile wallets store payment information and help us pay the bills or transfer money through the internet.

2. Cloud-Driven Apps

This is a game-changer in the developer’s world. Cloud integrated apps can store the data on their own without storing it on a device. This will increase functionality and improve the operational efficiency of the mobile. 

A cloud-integrated app is a program to store components online in a cloud interface.

The app data will be placed in a cloud storage program and managed on the user’s device.

The app will sync the data every time the device is online. We can encrypt, optimize and compress the data accordingly.

Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and other cloud-driven platforms are available right now to users.

3. Location-Based Services

The most widely used location-based service used in Android is GOOGLE’s BEACON. Beacons are transmitters that allow nearby Bluetooth devices to connect and transfer data. These beacons also provide location-based services.

Beacon technology gives the users a better experience by providing context signals through Bluetooth.

They help users to discover content and enable better functionality in native applications and websites.

4. FlutterFlutter

Flutter is a new technology from Google; it came around 2015. This new technology helps to Combine different widgets to create user interfaces. This framework brings new possibilities in app development in User interfaces with the native interface for Android. Many developers choose this platform because of its flexibility and reliability. Flutter includes native design and MVP development. We can see fantastic interface and features in Alibaba and google ads; both their UI is created by flutter.

5. Blockchain Technology 

Blockchains are virtual engines of digital currencies like bitcoin. They store the transaction records known as blocks in multiple databases known as a chain. Blockchain is a P2P encrypted digital ledger that is available to all its users. It protects and prevents the tampering of transactions because each transaction is only allowed through the owner’s digital signature. So you must be wondering how IoT works inside the blockchain; IoT sends this data through devices that are available all over the Internet to the private blockchain networks to avoid third parties’ involvement. The beauty of this technology is that anyone can see it, but no one can touch it. Bewitching, isn’t it? 

6. Instant Apps

Now android users can click the “try now” button and experience the native app experience without installing the app. Most users don’t want many apps because they don’t have enough space in the phone, or a lot of apps will mean the phone will be running slow. So instant apps are the answer to that. You can use apps without even downloading them. This will naturally increase the discoverability of apps. Instant apps are built on android bundles, and they are used in split features.

7. IoT

The Internet is one of the most leading technologies ever invented by humans, and it has the cathartic power to drastically change the world. In the beginning, only people utilized the Internet. Now, there’s a different kind of Internet available, the type of Internet for all the objects embedded with sensors, software, and new technologies that they can download and transfer data over a wireless network without human interruption. With the help of technology, we have entered an era of advanced connectivity among various devices. With new technologies and strategies hitting the market every day, IoT is evolving, and it will continue to do so. It has the power to manipulate an entire society.

8. Voice User Interfaces 

Now we can just talk to our devices to do tasks like setting up alarms or playing music or add a to-do list or set up a reminder. We can have our virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa. VUI will help us interact with our devices. Imagine the possibilities of having this same technology among various apps. This will change the gaming world. 

9. Artificial Intelligence

Intelligence is the ability to observe and learn new things; it is not a skill but the power of our brain to capture knowledge to understand and evolve. Artificial intelligence is the intelligence a machine requires to carry out tasks that only a human can do. AI can make autonomous decisions. AI can study our behaviors by analyzing our patterns and can give us personalized experiences through Apps.

10. AR & VR

Augmented reality provides more freedom for the users to explore products and services. This has increased more marketing opportunities. Imagine if you can just sit at home and check out products by using augmented reality. Or can you appear in the face-to-face conference with your employees remotely? Augmented reality can provide us a live vision without having our physical appearance in place. Sounds terrific, right?? VR can give us a virtual life experience. VR is simulations in 3d form. 

VR can provide us with real game life experience. Both AR &VR in mobile app development have a bright future in 2022.

Conclusion

Mobile apps are among the best forms of performance support today. With everything available on the internet with just one touch.  The future is bright with more opportunities. Now with devices on 5G technologies, everything will be faster and more user-friendly.
