FOLLOWING are the different TYPES of mobile applications:

• Native Applications: A native application is a program written in a specific programming language (such as Objective C for iOS or Java for Android) and INSTALLED directly on the device, allowing it to take full advantage of all of the device's characteristics. Native applications can work offline and utilise the device's notification system. App stores (such as Google Play or Apple's App Store) are used to install native applications. Native mobile applications have a high level of performance and dependability. Temple Run, Candy Crush, and other native apps are examples.
• Web Applications: Web applications are mobile web portals that have been specifically created, adapted, and hosted for mobile devices. They are accessed using a URL on the mobile device's web browser. When HTML5 was released, people learned that they could have native-like functionality in the browser, and web applications became extremely popular. Device capability is not available in mobile web applications. Google.com, m.snapdeal.com, m.yahoo.com, and more websites are examples of web applications.
• Hybrid Applications: Web applications embedded in native applications that operate on the device and are created using web technologies are known as hybrid applications (HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript). Hybrid applications run inside a native container and render HTML and handle JavaScript locally using the device's browser engine (not the browser). A web-to-native abstraction LAYER gives you access to the device features like the accelerometer, camera, and local storage that aren't available in mobile web applications. A hybrid application is not limited to a single PLATFORM or mobile device. As a result, once constructed, it can run on any device. Flipkart, Facebook, Twitter, and other hybrid applications are examples.
