Everything you need to keep an đź‘€ on next year!

We are about to start the new year 2021 and the last year has been quite different and influenced the way we designed a lot. But let’s not talk about the last year but rather focus on the future!

I am working as an innovative designer with 8+years of experience with companies on the future solution for their products. This helps me to get sneak peeks into the near future.

I prepared a list for you with everything you need to keep an eye on next year.

Let’s get started:

✨ #1 Superapps

The way we are going to be using apps will change. How are we using them right now? We have one app for one purpose. The average smartphone owner has more than 80 apps installed on their phone.

“Super apps” combine multiple apps in one can help us with many different tasks. Their goal is to solve all the user needs in one app. This means the user does not need to switch to another app anymore.

The idea comes from Asia where super apps like WeChat to Alipay are extremely popular (1 billion users each day).
