class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A returning shopper sees the items they browsed last week. A news app opens on the topics a reader follows. A banking app puts the most-used action on top. These small adjustments make products feel like they were built for one person, and they save real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Personalization in UX<\/strong> is the practice of tailoring content, features, and layouts to individual users or groups based on their needs, behavior, and context. Done well, it reduces effort and builds loyalty. Done badly, it feels intrusive, inaccurate, or confusing.
