You also need an Internet connection to work with Web apps. These apps are generally developed
                  in HTML and CSS.

                  Web apps are different from websites. The major difference is that a Web app can be a small part
                  of a website that provides a particular functionality. On the
                  other hand, a website can contain many Web apps.
                  Some examples of Web apps are OLX, Flipkart, and Pinterest.
                  Hybrid Apps


                  The app that is created by combining the features of a Native and a Web app is called a hybrid
                  app. Similar to native apps, hybrid apps are developed for a specific platform and deployed on
                  the app store. You need to install the hybrid app before using it on your mobile.

                  Nowadays, developers use development tools to package the code of the hybrid app with a browser
                  to make it as a native app. 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.

                  Some examples of hybrid apps are Instagram, Gmail, and X.
