May 2026: the Shopify app and the shopping app

Work on Mobile App Builder started with the two halves every store app needs: the app in your Shopify admin, and the shopping app on your customers’ phones.

• In Shopify admin: Mobile App Builder installs as an embedded Shopify app. Your products and collections sync automatically and stay up to date as you change them in Shopify.
• On the phone: one native app for iOS and Android, with a home screen, collections, product pages, search, a cart and an account screen.
• Always from Shopify: prices, stock and availability are read live from your store, and checkout is Shopify’s own secure checkout.
• One design file drives both the iOS and the Android app, so every later design change reaches both at once.
