Web Apps Insights

What is Web Apps?

Web applications (web apps) are application programs that are stored on a remote server and delivered over the internet through a web browser interface. They are commonly used for a wide variety of purposes, including online banking, e-commerce, social media, and content management. Web apps differ from native apps, which are designed for a specific operating system (like iOS or Android) and are installed directly onto a device. Web apps are accessible on any device with a web browser and an internet connection.
