mobile UX — OS features 🤖

This is the last part of my blogpost series “7 aspects that improve the UX of your app”. The previous post was about accessibility.

OS features are a big reason why we build apps instead of just mobile websites. They can provide a much better experience.

Some examples of useful features:

• control center (for example when you have a music stream in your app it should be possible to play/pause the stream in the control center)
• push notifications
  deeplinks (when users share content from your app, this should open the exact content in their friends app)
  always check out new features of the operating systems, there are often new possibilities to improve the overall UX of your app by adapting to new features of iOS and Android.
• widgets, like this news widget and next game widget we built for the HSV app:
