and run on the device itself. Some of the examples of mobile apps are Snapchat, WhatsApp,
                      and Facebook Messenger.

                      Web: A Web app is an application program that is stored on a remote server and accessed
                      over the Internet through a Web browser interface. Some of the mobile apps and Web apps
                      look and work in same way, with very little difference between them. However, these two are
                      very different from each other. One of the major differences is that the Web apps require an
                      Internet connection to work.

                      ANDROID AND IOS

                  Nowadays, most of the mobile devices run on Android and iOS.

                  Android

                  Android is an operating system for mobile devices developed by Google. It is the
                  most commonly used operating system in mobile devices. Google and some other
                  mobile manufacturing  companies use the  Android  as operating  system for  their

                  devices. Android provides an easy to use and friendly environment to their users.
                  The user interface of an Android mobile is look like this:                                  Android
                  iOS


                  iOS (formerly iPhone OS) is also a popular operating system developed by Apple Inc.
                  for its hand-held devices such as iPhone and iPad. The user interface of the iOS looks
                  very professional as shown:

                  Apps  provide  specific  functionality to your  mobile and  tablet devices in a more simple  and
                  user-friendly manner. We use so many apps on our mobile device to perform different types of

                  tasks. Generally, these apps can be divided into three types which are native, web and hybrid. Let
                  us learn about these in detail.
                  Native Apps


                  Native apps are platform dependent which means that these apps are primarily developed for
                  a specific platform. For example, any app which is developed for iOS will not run on any other
                  platform such as Android and Windows. In other words, you cannot install the app on iOS
                  platform which is developed for android platform. Most of the apps installed on your mobile
                  device are native apps. These apps are distinctly accessible from app stores and offer the fastest,
                  most reliable and most responsive experience to users.
                  Some of  the  examples  of native apps are  Camera,

                  Microphone, Gallery and Address book. However, there
                  are some alternatives also available for these apps but using
                  native apps is easiest.
