Real-time updates are changes to app content or data that become available to users immediately or shortly after they are made, without requiring the entire mobile application to be republished or reinstalled. Depending on the app architecture, businesses can update information such as products, services, prices, news, promotions, schedules, or other dynamic content through a connected database or app management system.
Real-time updates allow businesses to keep mobile app content current without releasing a new version of the application for every content change. This makes app management faster and more flexible, especially for businesses that regularly update catalogs, news, promotions, schedules, or service information. Users can access current information while the installed application remains the same.
A business publishes a new promotion and changes information about several services in its app management system. The updated content becomes available in the mobile app without requiring customers to download a new version from the App Store or Google Play.
