2018 is looking set to bring a multitude of exciting and necessary changes to the biggest mobile apps you know and love. From Facebook to Instagram, you can expect to see plenty of new improvements and advancements on these platforms and so much more this year. Here are just some of the biggest changes to anticipate.

Instagram eclipsing Snapchat
Snapchat's recent redesign hasn't gone down well with loyal users, to say the least - many have gone so far as to say they're moving completely to Instagram, what with its new features that bear a striking resemblance to the original photo messaging app.

And so it makes sense that Instagram is running with this sudden advantage, working on bringing even more improvements and pioneering features to its Stories - one imminent update will allow users to repost pictures from people's profiles to their own stories (whilst crediting them, of course), an exciting feature that will convince users to stick with them from now on.

Spotify's radical overhaul
It's long been the favorite music streaming app for users worldwide, and Spotify looks set to improve even further in 2018 with a redesign that'll focus more on visuals than ever before. One major change? The Now Playing screen now includes full-screen cover art, getting rid of the grey background that users have become accustomed to.

Images will become bigger, with cover art being a major focus - although Spotify's brand identity is prevalent throughout the app design, the signature colors and fonts will exist with an exciting visual approach to the music you love.
