New features to keep the interaction going.

## At a glance

Companies are drawing up scenarios and action plans for what is to come and, today more than ever, they are using agile methodologies to implement new services and features that are useful to users.

Today's apps are expanding their range of tools to meet the whole population's needs for relationships, leisure and entertainment during lockdown. Solidarity initiatives are also emerging: help among members of a community, mental health support or prevention in what little public activity we may have…

Human beings are social by nature, so finding alternative ways of interacting to stay in touch has become one of the main focuses of companies' work in times of coronavirus.
