Like cars, apps built for different operating systems have a lot in common,
but they look and feel a little different. [11] For instance, most of Facebook
Messenger looks the same on Android and iOS, but a few pieces of the app
are subtly different.
Facebook Messenger on iOS vs. Android. Notice that the core messaging
area looks almost the same, whereas the top and bottom bars look different.
While they look different, both versions of the Messenger app talk to the
same Facebook database that stores your friends and conversations.
So how exactly are smartphone apps like Toyota cars? Both cater to multiple
markets that use mutually incompatible platforms. This means both app
developers and Toyota tend to make slightly different versions of their
product for each market.
A final note: while there are only two major versions of smartphone apps
(iOS and Android), apps that work on other types of devices can have even
more versions. For instance, there are five versions of the super-versatile
Microsoft Office apps: Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and web apps. [12]
