• Some trends such as colourful designs, animation,
  and emotional design, have continued to be just
  as prevalent as they were few years ago, new
  trends have also gained popularity. Here we will
  take a closer look at the new trends that have
  been characterizing mobile UX design in 2020.

• Bottom Sheets
• As a result of the increasing size of phone
  screens, bottom navigation has become a prime
  location for important buttons as users can more
  easily reach them with their thumb then when they
  are placed at the top of the screen. Whereas the
  bottom navigation bar has been around for some
  time, we expect that it will be overtaken by
  bottom sheets,

• which are quickly becoming the preferred method
  for sub-flows by designers, rather than the
  classic overflow drop down or pop up dialogues.
  Bottom sheets allow for multitasking as well as
  both a vertical and horizontal scroll, providing
  the user with a seamless experience that was
  previously not possible with other navigation
  methods.

• A Passwordless Future
• Passwords may soon become a thing of the past as
  companies move forward with new options for
  identity authentication. With the rise of
  biometric recognition, fingerprint scanning, and
  facial identification, many companies such as
  Apple, Slack, and Whatsapp are opting for quicker
  login features for users to improve their overall
  user experience.

• As software and hardware of applications continue
  to develop, we expect to see a complete shift
  from usernames and passwords to new
  authentication methods. Eliminating passwords
  will not only lead to improved security for users
  as it decreases the opportunities for potential
  breaching, but it also requires lower support
  costs from companies while providing better user
  experience.

• Dark Mode
• While dark mode is not new, more and more
  applications are providing users with the option
  to pick between light and dark themes. Dark mode
  has many benefits for users, with the most
  prominent one being reduced eye strain and
  increased battery life for mobile users. Often,

• Dark mode is used to reduce the contrast between
  users and their surrounding environment, as was
  demonstrated by Netflix, since movies are often
  watched in the dark, it makes sense that their
  platform mimics that of a movie theatre with dark
  backgrounds and light text.

• Buttonless Design Rounded Corners
• The latest Iphone, Samsung, and Pixel are all
  home button-less, and this shift can create a bit
  of a learning curve for new users. The home
  button has acted as a compass for users for well
  over a decade, but as smartphones advance they
  are taking up precious real estate, and thus,
  they are being left farther and farther in the
  past with the release of new smartphone models. A
  greater emphasis has been placed on gestures,
  primarily the liquid swipe effect, as a
  replacement for the home button.

• Increased Personalization
• First, we must distinguish between
  personalization and customization. Whereas
  customization occurs when a user creates changes
  within an application in order to suit their
  specific needs, personalization is implemented by
  the system (and developers who created it)
  itself. Increased user personalization will gain
  traction in 2020 as AI and machine learning
  improves.
