Smart Defaults
Smart Defaults are pre-configured settings or options that align with the typical user’s preferences or behaviors. These defaults reduce friction by making it easier for users to start using a product, as they don’t have to make decisions about common settings. Smart defaults are based on data, user research, or design patterns that ensure a streamlined, efficient user experience. Users can always customize the settings, but smart defaults make the process faster and more intuitive.
