Platforms:
  Native App -> iOS, Android devices
  Web App -> Any device with a web browser
  Hybrid App -> iOS, Android devices

Arrows or lines can connect each box to their platform/device below.

This diagram shows three boxes, each representing one type of mobile app.

Native App: Built specifically for one operating system like iOS or Android. It uses device features like camera or GPS directly. It must be installed from an app store.

Web App: Runs inside a web browser like Chrome or Safari. It does not need installation and works online. It can run on any device with a browser.

Hybrid App: Combines features of native and web apps. It is installed like a native app but uses web technologies inside. Examples include apps like Instagram.

Lines or arrows connect each app type to the platforms or devices they run on, helping visualize where each app type works.
