Should I use breadcrumbs on mobile?
Indeed, both our mobile and desktop testing reveals that breadcrumbs are critical, especially for mobile users, to help them understand where they are on a site, as well as to provide them access to additional hierarchy layers.
Are breadcrumbs still relevant?
Because There Is No Good Reason To Not Use Them
The reasons are simple. Breadcrumbs never cause problem in user testing. Users pay attention to breadcrumbs only 30% of the time; when they do, it helps and even when they don't, it doesn't cause any harm.
Are UX breadcrumbs necessary?
Breadcrumbs UX are often neglected, but they can be extremely helpful when designing a complex navigation. We can improve them with sideways navigation, clearer breadcrumbs paths and accordions on mobile. Nobody gets particularly excited about breadcrumbs navigation.
Do apps use breadcrumbs?
Most apps use breadcrumbs as a secondary navigation scheme.
