•PWA: A PWA is a web-based application that can be accessed through a browser on any device. It uses standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. PWAs are not installed through app stores; instead, users can access them via URLs and can install them to their home screen like native apps. •Native Application: A native app is built specifically for a particular platform (iOS, Android, etc.) using platform-specific languages (e.g., Swift for iOS, Kotlin/Java for Android). Native apps must be downloaded and installed from app stores (Google Play, Apple App Store).
