The companies who do not update themselves according to new market trends and technologies might have difficulty in sustaining for a long time in the industry. Here are the top trends that will transform the face of mobile application development in 2020.
Cloud Applications
Integrating the latest technologies in mobile applications will increase the size of the applications, and many users might not be able to download the app because of not having enough memory space.
Therefore, cloud-based applications are base for any highly-sophisticated and latest technology-induced applications. The app uses the cloud as the storage and reduces the burden for the users. The most popular cloud-based applications are Gmail, Dropbox and Facebook.

They are commonly used in many mobile applications for chatbots face recognitions and text predictions and many more.
