With billions of people using smartphones, the usage of mobile apps has also increased manifold. These days, companies are focusing a lot on creating apps to connect with their customers. These mobile apps are either native or hybrid based. When it comes to users of these apps, they are hardly bothered which medium is used to create the app. For users what matters is how useful the app is for them and how easy it is to use them.

Difference between Native and hybrid app
A native app is an application created for single platform use and these can be either Android or IOS. Unlike web apps, which are designed to run on multiple platforms, these are single platform-based. A user needs to go to the app store to download these apps before using these apps. Usually for developing native apps for android JAVA OR Kotlin is used, for developing IOS apps Objective-C or SWIFT is used.

On the other hand, hybrid apps are a combination of native and web-based apps. These are built using JavaScript, CSS and HTML 5. The main advantage of these hybrid apps they can be used on multiple platforms, even as apps on app stores. You only need to code them for once and then you are good to go for various platforms.

Native apps can access built-in smartphone features such as camera and speakers, but in the case of hybrid apps, you need to use some plugins to be able to access these things on the user's smartphone.
