Micro-interactions are the trend of 2024
2024 is ushering in a shift towards micro-interactions as a prevailing trend. In the ever-changing landscape, these subtle design elements are evolving into essential features that users expect in modern apps and websites. Neglecting them risks rendering a product outdated.
In a previous article, I discussed integrating ChatGPT into everyday design for efficiency. While valuable, relying solely on tools like ChatGPT lacks the indispensable human touch. Now, let’s delve into emerging trends that will permeate nearly every product, starting with micro-interactions.
What Are Micro-interactions?
Micro-interactions are familiar to anyone navigating the digital realm. From the ubiquitous like button on social media platforms to other subtle prompts, these interactions enhance user engagement, fostering a sense of control and connection with the design.
Why is this becoming a trend in 2024?
