The likes of Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb where millions of users book the services on the go, there is no reason why companies should not espouse a mobile strategy. In 2019, the solution providers leverage the latest technology trends revolving around artificial intelligence, machine learning, predictive analytics, and blockchain. Inspired by Apple Siri--an excellent example of a mobile application's capability to interact with the human--a bevy of companies are rethinking the design and features of their mobile app to incorporate virtual chatbots. By embodying the bots into mobile apps, brands can address more concerns and answer basic FAQs, thus eliminating human intervention. The fact that the cloud has the potential to address a multitude of concerns facing the mobile application development community turns a new leaf. Developers looking to build and host apps on cloud only to be benefitted from reduced hosting cost, streamlined operations, and better storage. Above all, it leads to increased user retention rate. As mobile users seek better experiences and shorter app load time, the emergence of instant apps as a new trend provides instant accessibility to the user who need not download the app. To further enhance the user experience, mobile application solution providers create mobile app experience in augmented and virtual reality. Capitalizing on mobile application, financial institutions, too, such as retail and commercial banks are integrating payment gateways and e-wallets (Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, etc.) into their mobile applications to encourage mobile banking. Also, the distributed ledger technology, blockchain, in tandem with AI, brings enhanced security, greater transparency and efficiency in the financial ecosystem.
