In-App Browser on AirDroid Business provides enterprises with a way to prevent users from bypassing browsing restrictions, opening web pages, and browsing on the device directly by clicking the links in apps.
1What is an In-App Browser?
An in-app browser is a feature within a mobile application that allows users to view web pages without leaving the application. Instead of opening a separate browser application (such as Chrome or Safari), users can browse web pages directly within the app they are using. It is often used in social apps like WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, and more.
