HYBRID APPS
Hybrid apps are apps that are a combination of both native and web apps. Similar to the
native app, a hybrid app is developed for a specific platform and deployed on the app
store. You need to install the hybrid app before using it on your mobile. In this way, hybrid
apps become cross-platform which means that the same code can be run on multiple
platforms. This technique saves the development time and cost also. Hence, these apps
are more popular than native and web apps. Some examples
of hybrid apps are Instagram, Gmail, and X (formerly
known as Twitter).
