Mobile App Development can be made more secure, fast, and reliable with Cloud technology such as Dropbox, AWS and SlideRocket. More powerful apps which run directly on the Cloud can be developed that makes sure of minimal storage space of the smartphones.

Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence & machine learning has already taken its first step in the mobile applications development field. By 2020 the AI industry will rise up to $40 billion. Chatbots and virtual assistants are the very fine examples of AI and machine learning application in the mobile app development industry.   AI can also be implemented in the health industry like giving the physicians with more suitable treatment options for cancer. In future AI-enabled chips, automated machine learning and interoperability among neural networks could be seen.

Instant Apps

Popularity of instant mobile apps is increasing day by day. Hollar Inc., New York Times Crossword, Red Bull TV and Skyscanner are some of the instant apps already in the field. Many android development firms uses instant apps for a better conversion rate than regular mobile apps.
