The Android apps will be more like the iOS apps – Shifter

After several years with the same appearance, the new version of Google’s operating system for smart phones may be about to change. The 9to5Google site recently reported that Android will include in their application a bar at the bottom of the screen that saw substitute in most cases the so-called “burger menu”:

Android N was announced just over a week and promises visual changes to the operating system, though nothing is too radical to be considered a revolution. In fact, for some time now that neither Google nor iOS have this revolution, but there are certain changes that have been made and that made much more intuitive browsing experience.

This change may be one of them . Google recently updated its style guide and recommended for developers to include a bar on the inside of apps to switch between menus. This is a feature that already exists in Google’s own applications like Google+ or Photos, as you can see in the images below:

This bar – which disappears when the user is to scroll through the application, so you will have more space – replaces the so-called “burger menu”, ie, those three bars that usually encontravas at the top left of the application and force you to deslizares the left menu to on the right. The behavior of the new apps should be something like:

 androidnavbar_05

However, Google has said that this will not become the rule: if the menu features 2 or 3 submenus, so developers should choose the lower bar, but for 5 or 6 submenus is already recommended to maintain the current system.

Do you think this is not you is nothing strange? Because it’s not. The iOS already opted for this navigation logic for a long time, and apps like Facebook and Twitter for iPhone have the menus and message notifications at the bottom.

This is an option that makes perfect sense with note that the screens of the equipment, especially Android, have gotten bigger.
