                  With the development of technology, smartphones have become indispensable in our day-to-
                  day existence. Even though communication is still smartphone primary use, you can now perform
                  a lot of things on them that were not even possible a few years ago thanks to apps. You can use
                  smartphones for a variety of functions, such as playing games, making video calls, sending text
                  messages, and making online bill payments.
                     WHAT IS AN APP?

                  An app is a type of software that is designed specifically for portable smart devices like tablets and
                  smartphones. It facilitates the user's more efficient completion of both personal and professional
                  responsibilities.

                  The term "app" is a contemporary phrase derived from "application." The term "app" is typically
                  used to describe the apps found on smart devices, such as tablets and smartphones. For smart
                  devices, thousands of apps are accessible. The majority of the apps may be downloaded for free
                  from the app store. However, some of the apps need to be bought through the app store.

                  Google's Play Store, Apple's App Store, and Microsoft Store are the three most widely used app
                  shops.
                  There are mainly three types of applications, which are as follows:
                     Desktop: A desktop application is primarily created for a laptop or computer. The hardware
                     and  operating system that  this kind of program  operates  on determine  its functionality.
                     Usually, it is created with a certain operating system in mind. Word, Notepad, and Paint are a
                     few desktop programs.
                     Mobile: A software application, commonly referred to as a "mobile app," is created specifically
                     for portable electronic devices like tablets and smartphones. The device itself is where these
                     apps are installed and used. Messenger, WhatsApp, and Amazon are a few examples of mobile
                     applications.
