About

Facebook Apps are third-party software applications that integrate with Facebook and use its APIs to access data and interact with its social features.

They connect through the Graph API to read and write data such as profiles, posts, pages, and ads, support authentication via Facebook Login for single sign-on, enable content sharing and publishing, automate marketing and messaging workflows, and operate under a permission-based model with user consent.

A progressive web application (PWA) is a type of web app that can be installed on a device and run as a standalone application while being delivered through the web.

It is defined via a web app manifest and uses a service worker to enable offline support, background caching, push notifications, home screen installation, and access to device features such as camera, geolocation, and storage.
