The App Store has now created a new way for users to be able to share their pictures of themselves.

Among the ways that Apple has used its massive store for mobile apps to its best advantage and to generate its successes is through the creation of a method that would allow interesting applications and content to make their way to the surface, despite the tremendous competition.

This makes it very simple for the users of iOS based devices to find a lot of cool stuff quickly and easily.

It is only over the last couple of years that the trend toward taking selfies has become a very big deal. Apple has not failed to watch the way that selfies have been making their way into mobile apps, whether in taking, sharing, or both. The App store has now defined a new category of itself to precisely that trend. It is now possible to head to the “Sharing Selfies” section in order to be able to peruse all of the favorite applications for snapping that picture of oneself from an odd angle and in an awkward way.

There are a surprisingly large number of mobile apps geared toward taking selfies.

This type of picture used to be the definition of being uncool. However, since the term was first coined in the early 2000s, its popularity has been steadily growing, until it simply exploded over the last couple of years. This has caused mobile app development companies to start to focus rather heavily on the appeal of snapping these pictures in order to be able to take advantage of the attraction that people have to taking them.

It has now come to the point that there are so many that they are worth organizing. After all, it isn’t just anything that receives its very own category on the App Store from Apple. Now the section includes everything from Frontback to Front Flash, and from huge names such as Snapchat to tiny applications that have barely ever been downloaded. This new mobile apps category is certain to give them an added chance to stand out and define themselves.

Apptive and Shopify join forces to promote mobile commerce among merchants

Apptive, a mobile commerce and management platform, has announced that it has entered into a new partnership with Shopify, an e-commerce firm. Through this new partnership, the two organizations aim to make it easier for consumers to shop through Shopify with their mobile devices. Shopify has become quite popular with merchants that are working on developing a strong online presence. These merchants are finding that engaging with mobile consumers is becoming increasingly important as more people begin to shop exclusively from their smartphones and tablets.

Apptive platform may help merchants establish a better connection with consumers reliant on mobile devices

Apptive has managed to establish a strong following through its EasyApp platform. The platform allows for the quick creation of e-commerce applications. Because the digital space is becoming more important to the retail sector, such platforms allow merchants to engage with consumers quickly and effectively. The platform also allows these merchants to make changes to their applications in an efficient manner, providing consumers with new services quickly.

Shopify merchants will be able to make use of Apptive platform to design applications in 15 minutes or less

Shopify will begin integrating Apptive into its App Store and API. This will give Shopify merchants access to Apptive’s platform, allowing them to build mobile commerce applications. According to Apptive, a mobile commerce application being built with its platform can be made in less than 15 minutes. There is no coding knowledge required to build these apps as the platform takes care of the technical side of the work.

Merchants must adapt to changing consumer base

Merchants that do not take steps to engage mobile consumers could be missing out on a major opportunity. More people are beginning to rely heavily on their mobile devices in daily life. This means that people are shopping and purchasing products from their smartphones and tablets more regularly. Mobile consumers have shown that they are both willing and able to spend larger sums of money when shopping online. Merchants that do not engage these consumers may run the risk of losing their relevance with a changing demographic.
