Mobile ads are about to get annoying says Brainium Studios

Scott Willoughby, Chief Operating Officer, from Brainium Studios predicts that in 2021 mobile ads are going to get more annoying, and mobile gaming will have a new definition due to innovation and mobile app developers will have to protect their end-users from annoying ads.

The new year will usher in a new definition of “mobile” in mobile gaming apps. Currently, mobile gaming apps have been synonymous with gaming on our phones. But, with the non-stop innovation in IoT and the looming promises of 5G, the “mobile” in mobile gaming is about to refer to everything from refrigerators to mirrors to spaceships. Wherever there is a screen, there will be an opportunity to embed mobile applications of any kind.

Mobile ads are about to get more annoying and it’s going to be critical that mobile app developers protect their end-users.

With new major privacy changes coming down the pipeline on iOS (and likely Android too), targeted ads will decrease dramatically. While ads are typically unwelcomed by mobile end-users even if they are targeted to individual interests, they will become even more annoying as advertisers have less access to personal data. In 2021, the platforms that take extra measures on the backend to ensure ads don’t eclipse UX will win big with their target audiences and better their industries as a whole.
