Future trends of IoT:
· Smart Homes and & Smart cities
· Self-driving cars
· IoT in the healthcare industry
· AI-powered IoT devices
2. 5G Technology
We are under the transition period between 4G to 5G. Compare to 4G, 5G is the super-fast that will have a speed of up to 10Gbps or even 100Gbps with more stability and low latency.
5G will have a great impact on the future of mobile apps, 1.4 billion devices are expected to connect with 5G technology. It will bring revolutionary changes in video streaming, handling VR & AR 3D objects, 360 degrees video streaming.
3. Beacon Technology
Beacons are small chips that use Bluetooth wireless technology with low energy (BLE) to send signals to other smart devices nearby.
It is most popular in the Hotels, Museum, Healthcare and Retail industries. It interacts with customers of various companies and helps in enrich customer experience by receiving the signal and providing relevant notifications and guidance for the user. It reduces the gap between the user and the companies. It is much helpful for retail industries.
Apple introduced iBeacon in 2013, in IOs app development. Google introduced Eddystone in 2015. In 2021–2022 Beacon based apps and locations will create big potentials in the market.
4. Mobile wallets
Demand for Mobile wallets is increasing with high concern for security. In 2019, 2.07 billion users used mobile wallets to make payments. Mobile wallets are becoming the most widely used payment method, it will increase in the 2022.

5. Wearables
Wearable technology experiencing rapid growth. By the end of 2021, it will reach $81.5 billion in revenue. Many people already use in the forms of Smartwatches, body sensors, Smart jewelry, display devices (Google Glass) and so on.
The main control panel for all these devices is Mobile apps, which controls and communicates with these devices. Wearable devices must be paired and they should be in close proximity. Wearable devices can track and analyze heartbeat, blood oxygen levels, body temperature, walking steps and body movements & more. Wearables are highly profitable in the health care industry, fitness and sports industries. In the future, possibilities are limitless
Conclusion:
We hope that with this article, you can obtain great insights into mobile app development trends in 2021–2022. The future of mobile app development is all about speed, simplicity and personalization with security.
