In the year, UI trends have gone to a new era of both designer and creator, and you must follow these trends. Designers do not only use trends to satisfy the users but also to provide them the best level of usability. Your users will be happier if you follow popular trends in your design. Now let us talk UI!
Fullscreen smartphones: this year, most of the new phones now have less bezels, and some of them have rounded edges. For this reason, their user interface has changed quite a bit. That's why it gives the designer and developer the challenges to design new and modern UI. That is the reason why designers have to create unique and trendy apps.
For example, iPhones don't have that home buttons anymore, and android phones are also losing the on-screen side bezels and other things to give bigger display to the phone. You now have all-screen screens on smartphones. So this throws a challenge to the designer and app developer to create the best and popular apps. Without buttons now, we have to replay on the navigation gestures, and it is the most useful thing in UI design.
Unique animation and illustration: as a designer, you have to use smooth animation and illustration to create a smooth and beautiful user experience. That will also create a friendly and clean environment and bring users a better experience. You have to consider what your users would like to see in the app. After that, you have to remember about feedback. Suppose your users can give their input about how they feel about your app, what they like and what they do not like. In that way, you can be able to improve the user experience. After giving animation, you have to test everything correctly so that it does not feel wrong.
Storytelling: the ability to talk about great stories around a digital user experience will always continue to trend among the best. It is a vital and essential element of UI, and it plays a crucial role in bringing about a perfect UX. Copywriting is another thing that can make the whole user experience a lot better. You have to tell a story that will catch every user's eye. Great storytelling can keep your users to use the app regularly.
Augmented reality: augmented reality in-app comes in 2020; it is a popular trend now. It is an example when people think outside of the box. Google and Apple companies have already had the AR technology that they are using on their device. Forget about AR in mobile phones; there is a rumor that the apple will announce an AI glass, which will be operating as an AI inside your glass. If they can, it will take everything to the next level.
Virtual reality: it has become so popular. It is has been one year that VR is introduced to the tech industry. Virtual reality is something that takes everything to the new level; using VR on the app is an excellent example of that. So every designer has to think about new ideas, who to add VR correctly on the app.
Those were some of the trendiest things that users will love in an app, so you must consider these before designing or creating an app.
There are several good examples of such designs like UnDebt designed by Olga Eregina or Wolt by Timo Sulanne and Samuli Nivala along with bunch of other stars on the market.
