The Digital market is an ever-evolving space and to keep pace with it you need to bring the necessary changes. In that case, all you need is awareness regarding the changes happening all around. Better UI could raise your website’s conversion rate by 200%, and better UX design could yield conversion rates of up to 400%.

Given the ubiquity of mobile applications, the expectations of users are also increasing. The global pandemic has taught us all to adapt to the most difficult circumstances. Even if we talk in digital terms, we have tried to condense all the physical aspects of working life in digital spaces, may it be online classroom teaching or business meetings on zoom call.

New changes have happened as we move towards the close of 2021 that would definitely affect the making of applications in 2022. For instance, with Figma- a tool for creating design systems, you can create a single masterpiece and its exact similar versions can be used by everyone else in the company. As the UI/UX designs are going to be the key factors in retaining consumers, let’s take a look at the latest trends in the app world which every UI/UX developer must know:

Top UI/UX Design Trends For 2022

1. Simpler The Better

The idea is not only to cater to the needs of the consumers but also to provide the best services in the simplest ways. The UX should be optimized to give a hassle-free experience to the users. With the addition of more and more features, applications tend to be complex, and then it might seem ambiguous to the users.

The concept of super-app is trending, along with Facebook, we have experienced wide-ranging features in China’s WeChat. Now, similar projects are being taken up in many countries of Asia. In this case, it becomes the responsibility of the developers to ensure that the app remains user-friendly with growing features so that the company doesn’t lose its customers.

2. Dark Mode For Better Visibility

The world is progressing towards an age where there will be application software to fulfill almost all human needs. More apps will lead to more app usage. Well, we don’t have to wait for the future to see a robust usage of apps. In 2020, apps contribute to global revenue of over 318 billion U.S. Dollars. Growing app usage is also leading towards increasing health concerns and therefore, many application software is ensuring to incorporate dark mode to decrease strain in the eyes. Light typography in contrast with a dark theme would provide better visibility to the users.

3. Fit For All Sizes

For developers, the task at hand is to create an interface that is optimized for all screen sizes. Apps are available for all sorts of devices- smartwatches, smartphones, tabs, and so on. So, the challenge is to develop the interface in the interest of all device types. As the design system of Google- Material is expanding its abilities in terms of adapting to wider screens- phone to tablets, desktops, and beyond. Therefore, app developers need to prepare themselves for whatever comes in the future.

4. Metaverse

The most significant UX Design trend for 2022 is the Metaverse. It has taken the normal functioning of AR and VR to the next level. The idea of Metaverse is to provide 3D spaces that will let users socialize, learn, collaborate and play in ways that go beyond what we can imagine. The launch of the VR remote work app is the first step to the ‘Metaverse’.

5. Prioritize Accessibility

With the growing need and use of application software, it is essential that it can be accessible to the maximum number of consumers. Along with the disabled people, there are many people who have to use voice assistants in case they are not in a situation to type and so on. Hence, it is essential to keep in mind that the incorporation of UI/UX trends is accessible to the maximum number of people taking care of the various situations they can be in. Developers should also consider other factors such as race, gender, etc to form a successful inclusive design.

To Conclude

A good user interface and UX web design are key parameters in identifying brand value. So, the developers need to make sure to provide a good overall user experience that can be accessible to the maximum number of people.
