✨ How are you liking the refreshed #Singpass app? ✨

As Singpass grew as an identity platform, with more services, information and features available through the app, the app's visual language and direction needed a refresh πŸ’«

🧠 The Digital IC was designed to be skeuomorphic – resembling our physical IC – to befit the mental model users already have with physical cards.

πŸ“±The team also reviewed the app's information architecture with end-users and moved valued features to the homepage.

πŸ€” Ever wondered how the team came up with the current scalable and sleek design?
